Elbaz said his mission was to take the technology into the consumer space. The VR game is an interesting innovation for Waves Audio, which was founded 25 years ago to build technology for sound studios. If you turn your head 90 degrees, you’ll hear the sound coming mostly from just one of your ears. If you are looking at a screen, the sound appears to come from that screen. You can also notice that the source of sound stays consistent. I think that showed me that you can more easily appreciate the 3D audio when you are using content that is specially designed to take advantage of it. I could hear the ball, and then I swung the paddle at it to make it bounce off the wall.
The VR game for the HTC Vive was like a Breakout game, where I had a paddle and had to swing at a ball bouncing around a 3D room. “We simulate all of the reflections of sound in a room,” Egozy said. Over time, Waves Audio hopes to get a lot of game developers to use the Nx technology. It is also the first game to feature Waves Nx 3D Audio Technology, which brings true-to-life sound spatialization that deepens your feeling of presence in VR. Racket: Nx is a futuristic fusion between single player racket sports like squash, and classic, brick-breaking arcade games. That allowed me to hear the quality of the 3D audio better and to see that the head-tracking actually works. Idan Egozy, product manager at Waves Audio, also showed me a VR experience that was created just for the Waves Nx. The company is demoing a VR version of the technology at the VRDC virtual reality event in San Francisco on Wednesday and Thursday. The Waves Audio folks say that listening to music also enhances the clarity as the instruments appear separated from one another in the listener’s audio space. “We found the 3D audio without the tracking is nothing,” Elbaz said. But I don’t really trust my ears the way a true audiophile does. I listened to the headphones with the Wave Nx and it sounded good to me.

It combines the interactions between the acoustic sound waves and the room or space, the interaction with our head and ears, the reaction of our middle and inner ear and the audio nerve, and finally our brain’s cognition and interpretation of the acoustic scene.
