Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by nc.com your source for
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western
Digital hey guys we're here at the AMD Booth checking out some true audio
implementation so you're from gen audio what does gen audio do J audio is a 3D
audio technology company and uh we're really proud to be here at the AMD booth
and really talk about our technology and our partnership with uh AMD so you had
me set up on an HD Oculus which is amazing um but what what was what can
you describe what was happening there sure the H Oculus is great because
you're effectively getting the double the pixels as the uh original Oculus
Rift uh so with our demo we're actually showing true 3D positional audio and
it's full 360° around you so above your
head behind you uh maybe even a little bit below and as you move around in the
world is recall you really feel the sound moving all around you and it's the
perfect compliment to uh you know a VR display
like the Oculus rip it's actually pretty wild one of the main things you notice
is when you're playing in a game you can hear things around you mainly but when
you play uh the The Villa demo or
whatever tusky demo there we go uh you can really tell When the Music's above
you and when you go upstairs you can really tell that the fire is below you
and that the fountain is below you and it's it's interesting being able to get
the vertical aspect to it is this is this the first time that we're really
seeing this I you know a 3D audio has been around for a long time and there
have been attempts to do this sort of thing and some you know claim to do it
but I I believe ours does it better than most we're here to improve 3D audio and
really make it much better and now that we have dedicated resources like true
audio from AMD we're able to utilize those dedicated audio Hardware resources
to really you know add more resolution and make it much much more natural so
it's actually really cool it's unfortunate that we can't let you hear it because you're not here so there
won't be a sound demo but it is quite wild i' I've heard different mations of
this before but this one is is freakishly accurate and when we're
looking at things like Oculus Rift it's it's it's going to be complimented very
severely by everything around it so you need a really good audio setup you need
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
things happening hoping that we can spread the game um sorry the message to
game developers to know that this kind of technolog is out there to really
create a better experience for their Gamers awesome thank you for watching
