Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by nc.com your source for

2
00:00:05,319 --> 00:00:11,599
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:14,920
Digital hey guys we're here at the AMD Booth checking out some true audio

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:20,080
implementation so you're from gen audio what does gen audio do J audio is a 3D

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:24,480
audio technology company and uh we're really proud to be here at the AMD booth

6
00:00:22,039 --> 00:00:30,039
and really talk about our technology and our partnership with uh AMD so you had

7
00:00:28,039 --> 00:00:34,040
me set up on an HD Oculus which is amazing um but what what was what can

8
00:00:32,279 --> 00:00:37,760
you describe what was happening there sure the H Oculus is great because

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:43,039
you're effectively getting the double the pixels as the uh original Oculus

10
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:48,840
Rift uh so with our demo we're actually showing true 3D positional audio and

11
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:51,399
it's full 360° around you so above your

12
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:55,399
head behind you uh maybe even a little bit below and as you move around in the

13
00:00:53,239 --> 00:00:59,559
world is recall you really feel the sound moving all around you and it's the

14
00:00:57,039 --> 00:01:02,719
perfect compliment to uh you know a VR display

15
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:05,159
like the Oculus rip it's actually pretty wild one of the main things you notice

16
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:10,400
is when you're playing in a game you can hear things around you mainly but when

17
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:13,000
you play uh the The Villa demo or

18
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:16,360
whatever tusky demo there we go uh you can really tell When the Music's above

19
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:20,320
you and when you go upstairs you can really tell that the fire is below you

20
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:23,759
and that the fountain is below you and it's it's interesting being able to get

21
00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:27,479
the vertical aspect to it is this is this the first time that we're really

22
00:01:25,079 --> 00:01:31,040
seeing this I you know a 3D audio has been around for a long time and there

23
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:35,399
have been attempts to do this sort of thing and some you know claim to do it

24
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:40,280
but I I believe ours does it better than most we're here to improve 3D audio and

25
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:44,719
really make it much better and now that we have dedicated resources like true

26
00:01:42,119 --> 00:01:49,560
audio from AMD we're able to utilize those dedicated audio Hardware resources

27
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:53,360
to really you know add more resolution and make it much much more natural so

28
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:58,600
it's actually really cool it's unfortunate that we can't let you hear it because you're not here so there

29
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:02,960
won't be a sound demo but it is quite wild i' I've heard different mations of

30
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:06,880
this before but this one is is freakishly accurate and when we're

31
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:11,039
looking at things like Oculus Rift it's it's it's going to be complimented very

32
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:14,080
severely by everything around it so you need a really good audio setup you need

33
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:19,080
really good peripheral setup you need a really good Oculus and all that kind of stuff so it's good to see these kind of

34
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:23,280
things happening hoping that we can spread the game um sorry the message to

35
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,400
game developers to know that this kind of technolog is out there to really

36
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:30,840
create a better experience for their Gamers awesome thank you for watching
