3D Audio Experience

As a digital entertainer, I am always experimenting with the latest technologies to amaze your corporate event participants. A 3D audio experiment was created as part of my online show.

Very important: Make sure you use headphones when you watch the video below!

The combination of visual impressions, spatial hearing and our own imagination creates an impressive illusion that goes beyond mere seeing and hearing. When image, sound and imagination merge, a completely new level of perception is created that you can literally feel as a viewer. It is precisely this special mixture of visual fascination and acoustic depth that I have realized in an entertaining video that impressively demonstrates the possibilities of 3D audio. You can watch the video on this page.

The right setup is very important, as the full potential of the 3D Audio Experience can only be realized under optimal conditions. It is best to open the video on a large screen in full screen mode. Sit comfortably but upright and be sure to use earphones or headphones. You will notice that sounds suddenly move, distances become perceptible and the room becomes part of the experience.

The secret behind the technology

3D audio” or “binaural recordings” refers to special sound signals that give our ears a realistic spatial impression and create the feeling of being in the middle of the action. Although technically only stereo is used, sophisticated recording techniques make it possible to deceive our hearing in such a way that we can perceive sound sources in all directions. Our brain is able to precisely calculate the two slightly different pieces of information from both ears and deduce the exact direction, distance and even height from which a sound is coming. This creates an amazing 3D audio experience in which sounds suddenly move, rotate around the head or sound from seemingly distant areas of the room. The illusion seems so real that many people involuntarily turn their heads to follow an invisible sound source.
