Physically-based audio is a simulation of virtual sounds in a virtual environment, which includes both directional audio and audio interactions with scene geometry and materials. Traditionally these simulations have been too resource-intensive to be able to do quickly and accurately enough for real-time gaming. Photo courtesy NVIDIA.

The game’s use of Unreal Engine is mostly competent, however outdoor scenes can sometimes be rough around the edges. And I should say that I’m not a delicate person in terms of simulator-induced motion sickness. Puzzles vary between extremely easy to medium difficulty.

People knew it was not possible to do that: the film resonated because only in a simulation, only in virtual reality you can cheat time and space. It’s definitely a choice. And if you’re a writer or creator, you may experience these simulations and this will affect how you will tell a story later on. 5 to 10 years.

NB: Raw Data started when we wanted to switch to Unreal Engine. We were making Zombies in Holodeck when Unreal first came out. But it started off as just us tinkering around in Unreal — seeing what was fun and trying out some of our mechanics and systems. So that’s the #1 thing to simulate in a VR video-game.
