Abstract

The MPEG-I Immersive Audio standard for Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) audio with six degrees of freedom (6DoF) was completed in November 2025 by the MPEG Audio group (ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 6)). It offers compressed representation of virtual audio scenes as well as an efficient and acoustically sophisticated rendering to both head-tracked binaural headphones and loudspeaker setups. The latter is a unique feature among VR/AR audio specifications and enables convincing reproduction of conventional stereo, surround and 3D material with a large sweet area in home entertainment setups for a single tracked user, without the need for a head-mounted
display. This paper describes the technology of MPEG-I Audio listener-tracked loudspeaker rendering as a stand-alone application with a special focus on practical considerations for optimal room calibration.
