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

00:00:05.319 --> 00:00:11.599
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western

00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:14.920
Digital hey guys we're here at the AMD Booth checking out some true audio

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

00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:24.480
audio technology company and uh we're really proud to be here at the AMD booth

00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:30.039
and really talk about our technology and our partnership with uh AMD so you had

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

00:00:32.279 --> 00:00:37.760
you describe what was happening there sure the H Oculus is great because

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:43.039
you're effectively getting the double the pixels as the uh original Oculus

00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:48.840
Rift uh so with our demo we're actually showing true 3D positional audio and

00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:51.399
it's full 360° around you so above your

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

00:00:53.239 --> 00:00:59.559
world is recall you really feel the sound moving all around you and it's the

00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:02.719
perfect compliment to uh you know a VR display

00:01:00.440 --> 00:01:05.159
like the Oculus rip it's actually pretty wild one of the main things you notice

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

00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:13.000
you play uh the The Villa demo or

00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:16.360
whatever tusky demo there we go uh you can really tell When the Music's above

00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:20.320
you and when you go upstairs you can really tell that the fire is below you

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

00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:27.479
the vertical aspect to it is this is this the first time that we're really

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

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

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

00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:44.719
really make it much better and now that we have dedicated resources like true

00:01:42.119 --> 00:01:49.560
audio from AMD we're able to utilize those dedicated audio Hardware resources

00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:53.360
to really you know add more resolution and make it much much more natural so

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

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

00:02:00.600 --> 00:02:06.880
this before but this one is is freakishly accurate and when we're

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

00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:14.080
severely by everything around it so you need a really good audio setup you need

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

00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:23.280
things happening hoping that we can spread the game um sorry the message to

00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:26.400
game developers to know that this kind of technolog is out there to really

00:02:24.920 --> 00:02:30.840
create a better experience for their Gamers awesome thank you for watching
