XR Bavaria Meetup: Immersive 3D Audio

Titel: „Immersive 3D Audio“

The event will be English and take place at 6:00 pm Central European Time (CET) via Zoom.

3D audio is currently experiencing hype in many different areas. The Sony PS5 is setting new standards in game experience with Tempest 3D, so-called 8D music videos are getting billions of views on YouTube, and Samsung, along with Apple, has just launched headphones that support head tracking for spatial audio.

Of course, the XR world also benefits from this. But what exactly do the terms around spatial sound mean and where is its added value anyway?

Speakers:

Martin Rieger specializes in content for immersive media and wants to shed light on the anechoic chamber. Therefore, he has invited other experts from industry, science, and the user sector to show how versatile the possibilities are.
