Immersive Audio for VR

摘要

It is commonly assumed that good VR audio content can be achieved by direct capture matching the camera perspective. However, crafting a compelling mix generally requires stepping beyond reality to offer an enhanced perspective on the action. The required artistic intent and creative integrity must be preserved from content creation to consumption by an end user, ensuring full immersion into the virtual world. In this paper, we review the different alternatives to delivering immersive audio for VR, contrasting physically-based and artistic-based approaches. We also offer an overview of audio content creation for VR, illustrating the benefits of object-based, artistically-driven approaches.
