My apologies!

Wow, thanks for posting this Richard,

if it runs on Android and IOS too, it could be the basis of a locative “audio walk” app which would actually allow the sounds “to stay where they are” as you move around them.
best, Justin

But be aware of the difference between positional tracking (you move in a acoustical soundscape, "full VR/AR"), and orientational (head) tracking. (You stabilize a given recording and < recording perspective >.)

Rapture3D (as an audio game engine) will be able to do both.

Can Richard confirm this?

This makes it possible to add any amount of complex sound material into a single TOA mix, add multichannel recordings, and work on subtle details of the overall mix until it's absolutely right (in the much the same way we're used to for stereo or 5.1, but in full 3D). This gives a lot more control than is possible with pure "object-based" approaches, particularly where reverb or fine sculpting of the overall mix is concerned. Of course, if you want to use individual sound sources too you can, and Rapture3D's design scales well to very large numbers of ordinary sources, with dynamic reverb, filtering and distance models.

I have always argued that you can't manage everything with audio objects. Thanks for the support... :-)

And how would you record DTS:X? (Supposedly via "advanced extreme multitrack technology".)

P.S.: Which opens some further questions. Are some games not already a form of VR, especially if the player "identifies" with the scenery? (Some obvious dangers included here... )

Is a mobile phone not often used as an AR device? (Think of all the zombies walking around in public, staring onto their phone. ;-) :'( )

Hi there!

This is definitely a hot topic at the moment, and I thought folk might be
interested in what we (Blue Ripple Sound) have been up to in this area.
There's a news items at
http://www.blueripplesound.com/story/rapture3d-for-virtual-reality.

The executive summary of that is: there's a new version of the Rapture3D
game engine in the pipes that is simpler, faster, more portable, and
includes support for TOA playback (with "re-pointing"). For VR, this means you can create complete 3D audio scenes with our TOA studio plugins which
can then be rendered to binaural, in a way that takes the user's head
position into account.

Best wishes,

--Richard
