VR Headsets do a pretty good job of tricking our eyes, but they mostly ignore our ears. We’ve partnered with FIMVR, a leading Virtual Reality meetup group here in SF, to workshop how to tell incredible stories and create immersive visuals through sound.
360 and VR content provide a unique set of challenges to audio teams. Learn from the experts at how audio implementation and mixing impact the story telling for this new immersive medium.
Panel speakers on the “next frontier of immersion” and the importance of VR sound design and how to use it to tell your story. Meet and mingle with experts in 3D/360 audio, music, recording, and production. Limited seating available, grab your ticket today!
