2016 AES International Conference on Audio for Virtual and Augmented Reality: Saturday Sessions, Room 409A

8:30 -

9:15 AM

Workshop 10:
Audio content creation for VR with standard DAWs

Presented by Tom Ammermann - New Audio Technology

More then 50% of the emotional impact of a movie is audio. So creation of audio content becomes a new important topic in VR applications. But using common digital audio workstations (DAWs) for that is currently difficult. Strategies to connect DAWs with VR video devices, game/VR engines and how to use the new space and headphone virtualizations are questions the presentation will answer and show opportunities and tools.
