a study and comparison of binaural and ambisonic audio in video game sound design

This project

  • This project aims to create a practical comparison of ambisonic and binaural audio when implemented into video games.

  • On this website, you will find two videos of the same basic unreal engine demo, each using either ambisonic or binaural audio.

  • These videos were shown to an anonymous survey, where the participants gave their feedback on how immersive they found each clip.

  • Below, you can find the videos used in said survey with the results, or a bank of audio containing both ambisonic and binaural audio used in the demo, as well as some extra audio that you can use freely!
