PRODUCT TYPE Hardcover (Hardcover)
Description

The new realities are here. Virtual and Augmented realities and 360 video technologies are rapidly entering our homes and office spaces. Good quality audio has always been important to the user experience, but in the new realities, it is more than important, it's essential. If the audio doesn't work, the immersion of the experience fails and the cracks in the new reality start to show.

This practical guide helps you navigate the challenges and pitfalls of designing audio for these new realities. This technology is different from anything we've seen before and requires an entirely new approach; this book will introduce the broad concepts you need to know before delving into the practical detail you need.

Key Features

  • A practical guide to creating, designing and implementing audio for this new technology by a leading sound design and implementation expert.

  • Conceptual explanations address the new approaches necessary to designing effective audio for the new realities.
