In a video game, sound fields of virtual spaces are created in a 4-pi field which is free from channel restrictions. That is, in a video game, there are no picture frames, which cut out a part of sound fields, nor channel borders, which divide sound fields into finite numbers of areas. The workshop introduces how to create 4-pi channel-free reverberations for in-game sounds both from current and future technical points of the views. Demonstrations will be also provided, and reverberations that are generated by proposed methods will be listened to be compared with conventional reverb sounds that are created by a skilled mixing engineer.
