Advanced Audio Design Made Easy with 3D Spatial Audio & Communication Middleware
Viractal fully utilizes CRI ADX and CRI TeleXus to deliver a deeply immersive gameplay experience. In addition, by making full use of Yamaha’s virtual 3D audio solution “Sound xR Core,” the game achieves highly immersive spatial audio for headphone users.
In the “Spring of Cards” area, ambient sounds such as flowing water are rendered in Ambisonics format to create an immersive atmosphere. During battles, placing the listener at the character’s position allows for powerful and dynamic 3D spatial audio.
