FAQ
what's the difference between spatial audio and surround sound?
Not all spatial audio is surround sound, but virtual surround sound is one example of spatial audio. Surround Sound specifically refers to the output format of the audio mix - 5.1, 7.1, etc. Spatial Audio, on the other hand, is the technology which allows you to hear the surround sound mix inside of headphones as though you were listening to speakers in a room.
Immerse Gaming allows you to hear any PC game's stereo or surround sound mix inside your headphones as Personalized Spatial Audio.
SO I CAN EXPERIENCE IMMERSIVE SPATIAL AUDIO WITH ANY GAME?
As long as the game is on PC! For now, Immerse Gaming spatial audio software is only available for PC.
NO SUPPORT FOR XBOX OR PLAYSTATION?
We love console gaming too, but our solution is made for PC only. Maybe one day we'll have something for all the console gamers out there too...
why do you need my ear picture?
The Immerse AI uses a picture of your right ear to create a completely unique HRTF profile just for you! And when we say unique, we really mean it - no two users will ever have the same HRTF profile.
does hrtf personalization really make that big of a difference?
Personaliation may seem like the "cherry on top" of spatial audio technology, but it actually makes a HUGE difference. When listening to spatial audio with someone else's HRTF vs your own, you'll find that sounds are not as accurately positioned. The effect is especially notable for sounds behind and above you.
If you're still skeptical, we encourage you to experiment! Create an HRTF profile in your Immerse Gaming software using someone else's ear, then compare it to your profile. Do you hear a difference?
