Overview

Immersive audio technology creates spatially accurate soundscapes that reinforce visual presence in XR environments. Key techniques include binaural rendering using personalised HRTFs, ambisonics for full-sphere sound reproduction, and real-time occlusion and reverberation modelling. These technologies are foundational to virtual theatre, social VR, and training simulations.
