The technology of sound effects is constantly evolving by introducing new software and hardware systems. 3D audio is one such innovation, which is basically a group of sound effects that manipulate the sound produced by speaker-arrays, stereo speakers, and headphones. It is a phenomenon of transforming sound waves to mimic natural sound waves. 3D audio plays a vital role in creating a sense of immersion in virtual reality (VR) games. Popular video games such as Resident Evil 2 has 3D audio, which offers an immersive experience to gamers.
Putting is layman’s term, 3D audio feels like it is happening around you and not coming out of the speaker. It recreates sound in a more natural way so it feels like it is closer to you. 3D sound effects received major traction due to virtual reality gaming where audio will give the gamer the most realistic and immersive effect. Many consumer electronics companies and tech leaders are developing special headsets and speakers to produce a 3D effect of sound. 360 sound effect is the latest trend in this technology, which offers a new dimension to streaming audio on headphones. As a matter of fact, individual sounds such as chorus, vocals, guitar, piano, bass, and even the sound of a live audience can be replaced with a 360 spherical sound field. This offers artists and creators a new way to express their creativity.
In Japan, key industry leaders are focused on expanding the limits of 360 sound effects. Sony launched all new music experience called ‘360 Reality Audio’, which makes the audience feel as if they are immersed in sound from all directions. The company is focused on promoting this new music experience to music fans, artists, and music creators, which can give rise to a new world of music entertainment. It can be enjoyed through a compatible music streaming service smartphone app. However, it also requires compatible headphones for the optimum experience.
