Martin Rieger is participating as a spatial audio mentor
The fact that 3D audio in XR makes a decisive difference is already on most people’s radar. But what exactly is this spatial sound or whatever you want to call the new listening experience? This is exactly what will be demonstrated with practical examples throughout our congress. State-of-the-art audio technology meets creativity and unfolds its true potential. What does it sound like? Headphones on!
