From the PairPlay app home page:

PairPlay transforms your AirPods into a two-player adventure! You and your partner split the AirPods (one takes the left, one takes the right) and you hear OPPOSITE sides of the same story.

To get a sense of this at work, watch the video embedded below.

This is but a taste of what’s possible here. What strikes me is the power of that immersive audio, like the radio shows back in the days before TV came to dominate. This audio augmented reality unleashes the power of your imagination.

For game players working remotely, imagine a dungeon crawler that used separate audio tracks, customized for each player, that allowed fully remote collaboration to solve puzzles and make your way through the game.

As is, PairPlay seems like a lot of fun, especially if you’ve got kids.
