Immersive (Spatial Audio)

Spatial Audio refers to the technology and techniques used to create a three-dimensional sound experience for listeners. It aims to reproduce sound in a way that mimics the natural perception of sound in the physical world, providing a more immersive and realistic audio experience. Below are the 4 different types of spatial audio.

1. Binaural Audio

This technique uses two microphones placed in the ears of a dummy head or a human listener to capture sound in a way that replicates how the human ears perceive it. When played back through headphones, binaural audio provides a sense of directionality and spatial cues, creating an immersive experience.

2. Ambisonics

Ambisonics is a method of capturing and reproducing sound in a spherical sound field. It employs multiple microphones arranged in a specific pattern to capture the sound from all directions. Ambisonic recordings can then be decoded and played back through an array of speakers or headphones, recreating a realistic sound environment.

3. Object-based Audio

In object-based audio, sound elements are treated as individual "objects" with their own characteristics, such as position, motion, and acoustic properties. These objects can be positioned and moved within a three-dimensional sound field, allowing for precise placement of sound sources in a virtual environment.

4. Surround Sound Formats

Surround sound systems, such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, utilize multiple speakers placed around the listener to create a three-dimensional sound experience. By assigning audio to different channels and speakers, these formats can create the illusion of sound coming from specific locations and moving dynamically in the space.
