Immersive Audio for Games and XR: Near-Field Effects with atmoky trueSpatial

Описание: Spatial Audio in Games: atmoky trueSpatial for Unity - An Audio Demonstration of Near-Field Effects for ASMR!

This spatial audio demo highlights some of the capabilities of the atmoky plugins for Unity in a gaming context.

When sources are far away from the listener, the binaural cues (i.e. the interaural time- and level differences) are almost independent of the source distance. Meaning, there is no difference (except sound level) when a source is 2 meters or 30 metres away.

However, when sources are relatively close to the listener (1m or closer), the binaural cues vary strongly. Lower frequencies are amplified, the interaural level differences are increased, and the sound color for each individual ear changes due to the parallax effect (more on parallax in the next post).

And that’s why the atmoky spatializer plugin mimicks these effects - in order to make the spatialized sound sources more realistic.
