Introduction to Audio for VR

Are you interested in how spatialised audio works with VR for games and installations?

This one-day hands-on course will introduce you to how to record spatially to produce audio suitable for use with VR,  and will demonstrate how it can be used with 360 visual environments.

The course will be led by Natalia Mamcarczyk, a sound artist and audio engineer specializing in immersive, multichannel and binaural audio installations and supported by sound composer and artist Nik Rawlings.

In the morning you will record audio and in the afternoon you will upload and listen back to your recordings and be introduced to how audio can be implemented in VR environments.

You will learn:

• How to record audio for immersive audiovisual spaces, to be experienced on Head Mounted Displays (VR Headsets).
• Gain an understanding of processes to create visually and sonically immersive scenes.
• Understand head-tracking and principles for head mounted displays (VR).
• Understand Ambisonic 3D scenes alongside Headlocked (stereo) mixes in VR.

This is an introductory course so no previous experience needed.
