vTime Launches Next-Generation Immersive Audio in Partnership With DTS

We’re all about immersion. Since launching vTime, creating a true sense of social presence is something that we strive to achieve with each release. From avatars locking eyes as they chat to each other, to breath condensing as you talk in cold environments, we’re always adding tiny touches that enable our users to have realistic conversations in virtual reality. Today we add another piece of that puzzle. Our latest update sees next-generation, lifelike audio arrive in vTime in partnership with DTS, a global leader in high-definition audio solutions.

The update is the first in the world to feature DTS:X® Game Audio - new DTS technology that will give each of our users the best-sounding, immersive, 3D audio for, AR, VR and MR. Bringing heightened social realism and new levels of aural immersion to vTime’s library of detailed virtual environments, the update will be available across PC and mobile.

So how have we done it? DTS:X Game Audio allows us to mimic the way that we hear in real life. Instead of traditional stereo, we use a combination of localized, spatial and head-tracked sound. This means that instead of just hearing a noise in a vTime environment, you’ll be able to hear the direction that it came from, as well as the height, angle, and its distance from you. All incredibly clever stuff that tricks your brain into thinking you’re really there.

To celebrate the launch of next generation, immersive audio in vTime, we’ve added a special destination that will enable you to experience the best of DTS:X Game Audio. Find out more here.
