This works for any ARKit and ARCore app today in any virtual reality. They don’t care whether they’re augmenting real or virtual reality. Another is the Skyrim world.

It is a set of very high-quality headphones that are able to offer truly immersive and spatial audio, with a unique feature that lets you blend the audio of the AR experience and of your real world in an optimized way. This is made through the filtering of some particular frequencies of the outside world, while letting pass other ones. This blending will also be configurable, so that the user will be able to choice how much of the real world sound he/she wants to hear while in AR.

Kent: Well, first of all, virtual and augmented reality as a medium is a new paradigm of computing: spatial computing. But to be also embedded into a context that is mimicking what the real world situation is.
