Sound is essential for truly immersive VR. For this reason, sound is more than just an immersive tool – how (and where) objects around you sound has an enormous effect on your understanding of where they are, especially when you’re not looking at them. Presence and Realism in 3D Space. But it’s not perfect. Setting Boundaries.
