Not everyone can be meta bro

Seems that people do want it, that is all that matters, isn't it

So the Xbox One actually has Dolby Atmos/Windows Sonic on it so if you can just use the 3D sound localization in these with that it would probably still be pretty awesome. Wish someone could try it out and let us know but no one has said they have an Xbox so far...

But if the display angle doesn't adjust when you move your head, wouldn't that just confuse the gamer?

If i didn't already have a headphone plus mic would definitely buy this. Shame i want to upgrade my GPU and CPU as well. Seems like Audeze packed in quite a lot more features than a lot of "gaming" headsets do. Looks like a fantastic deal.

In a VR environment, what you say is true, the view changes as you move your head. For PC gaming, the view port stays anchored to the front of you (i.e. your monitor), it is only natural for the sound stage also to stay anchored consistent with the view port. When in a game you have changed the angle, the sound rendered by the gaming engine has also been changed to the new view, but this new view is still displayed on your monitor and the sound also needs to stay in front. Think of it as listening to the sound through a set of speakers, the idea here is to make you forget you are wearing a headphone and make your brain believe the action is taking place in front of you.

Yes. We already do this with Waves Plugins for VR/AR content creation tools. It works with plugins inside Protools, Logic etc. We have to work with the developer and enable them to use the headtracking information, if there is a use case.

It would be awesome if headtracking data could be used as an input in games à la TrackIR and I think this is what groovyd was getting at. Would you be able to comment on the feasibility of either providing a FreeTrack driver, or at least making the raw headtracking data available via API for the open-source community to develop with?

How will noise be attenuated on the microphone? Will it use secondary microphone(s) to actively cancel background noise?

Yes we are actively looking at exposing an API that provides raw head-tracking (Pitch Yaw and Roll) values to aid plugin developers and game engines use this information. Intially for Windows and later for Mac.

How would one go about connecting the Mobius to Xbox One and make use of it 3D processing?

 

[Sound Trooper]

Couldn’t resist and jumped in at USD249. I don’t game much but the promise of a BT closed back planar headphones appealed to me.

 

[Mediahound]

Seems the project is already dead?
