Abstract:
Modern Virtual Reality has given rise to new ways of capturing and delivering audio experiences. It is challenging previously accepted audio standards by compelling the audio community at large to invent and innovate. This panel will discuss some of the techniques and challenges present in today's efforts to deliver live virtual reality audio experiences, both in terms of live capture / future broadcast / future release and live capture / "on the day" live streaming. Topics to be discussed will be definitions, standards, creative considerations, educational obligations reflections on the future, and more.
