Meta Quest Audio Spatialization Will Get More Realistic With 'Universal HRTF' Upgrade
Meta is enhancing the audio spatialization on the Oculus Quest by upgrading the Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) model. This model calculates the filter needed for each ear to make the audio sound like it's coming from a particular point in 3D space. Unlike traditional audio panning, spatial audio provides a more realistic experience. Meta has developed a new HRTF model called Universal HRTF, which offers improved localization and frequency accuracy. The company conducted a user test that showed increased user preference scores and improved elevation detection accuracy. Developers can access Universal HRTF by upgrading to the latest version of the Meta XR Audio SDK. For more details, visit the source.
