0:05
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western
0:09
Digital hey guys we're here at the AMD Booth checking out some true audio
0:13
implementation so you're from gen audio what does gen audio do J audio is a 3D
0:17
audio technology company and uh we're really proud to be here at the AMD booth
0:22
and really talk about our technology and our partnership with uh AMD so you had
0:28
me set up on an HD Oculus which is amazing um but what what was what can
0:32
you describe what was happening there sure the H Oculus is great because
0:36
you're effectively getting the double the pixels as the uh original Oculus
0:40
Rift uh so with our demo we're actually showing true 3D positional audio and
0:45
it's full 360° around you so above your
0:48
head behind you uh maybe even a little bit below and as you move around in the
0:53
world is recall you really feel the sound moving all around you and it's the
0:57
perfect compliment to uh you know a VR display
1:00
like the Oculus rip it's actually pretty wild one of the main things you notice
1:04
is when you're playing in a game you can hear things around you mainly but when
1:07
you play uh the The Villa demo or
1:10
whatever tusky demo there we go uh you can really tell When the Music's above
1:14
you and when you go upstairs you can really tell that the fire is below you
1:18
and that the fountain is below you and it's it's interesting being able to get
1:21
the vertical aspect to it is this is this the first time that we're really
1:25
seeing this I you know a 3D audio has been around for a long time and there
1:29
have been attempts to do this sort of thing and some you know claim to do it
1:33
but I I believe ours does it better than most we're here to improve 3D audio and
1:37
really make it much better and now that we have dedicated resources like true
1:42
audio from AMD we're able to utilize those dedicated audio Hardware resources
1:46
to really you know add more resolution and make it much much more natural so
1:52
it's actually really cool it's unfortunate that we can't let you hear it because you're not here so there
1:56
won't be a sound demo but it is quite wild i' I've heard different mations of
2:00
this before but this one is is freakishly accurate and when we're
2:04
looking at things like Oculus Rift it's it's it's going to be complimented very
2:09
severely by everything around it so you need a really good audio setup you need
2:12
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
2:17
things happening hoping that we can spread the game um sorry the message to
2:21
game developers to know that this kind of technolog is out there to really
2:24
