The presentation on 6DoF technology in AR and VR will help the user to experience 3D audio/video content in the virtual space by introducing an unlimited number of listening and vantage points.
Zylia, a 3D audio recording and production company, along with Infineon Technologies AG, a player in semiconductor solutions, will present the Six Degrees of Freedom (6DoF) technology in virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) at the Mobile World Congress 2019, which will happen in Spain between February 25 to 28.
The presentation on 6DoF technology in VR/AR will help the user to experience 3D audio/video content in the virtual space by introducing an unlimited number of listening and vantage points. 6DoF gives users the opportunity to navigate through three-dimensional spaces freely by rotating or translating their position. However, to experience the feeling of full immersion in the virtual world, a high-level image must be followed by a realistic sound. Until now, image-related technologies have been developing much faster, leaving the sound behind. Reportedly, with this presentation Zylia has made the first attempt to show that an immersive sound experience can be achieved with 6DoF.
Speaking about the new approach to 3D content, Tomasz Zernicki, co-founder and chief technology officer of Zylia said: Synthetic 6 Degrees of Freedom audio, combining separate sound recordings into a single simulated sonic space, is very common in video games. What we will present at Mobile World Congress is a novel approach which enables not synthetic, but live recorded navigable 6DoF sound from an actual physical space.
