1.Overview

In the movie "Avatar", Jack entered the new world as Avatar's doppelganger; in the movie "Ready Player One", whenever Wade Watts puts on a VR headset, puts on a sensor device, and steps on a motion device, he can be completely immersed in a virtual space called "Oasis". These are "Metaverse".

Metaverse is a new Internet application and social form that integrates a variety of new technologies.

It provides an immersive experience based on extended reality technology, generates a mirror image of the real world based on digital twin technology, builds an economic system based on blockchain technology, and closely integrates the virtual world and the real world in the economic system, social system, and identity system. At the same time, it allows content production and world editing for each user.

The "metaverse" contains eight elements, including identity, friends, immersion, low latency, diversity, anywhere, economic system and civilization, and immersion is one of the important elements of the metaverse.

If we divide the realism experienced by users in the metaverse scene into two dimensions: "immersion" and "freedom". The starting point of the two axes is the native perception of reality. The depth of immersion and freedom together determines whether the user experience in the metaverse is real enough. Immersion in the metaverse will be an eternal theme, and immersive audio is also essential.

Immersive audio technology HOLOSOUND integrates channel-based audio technology, object-based audio technology and scene-based audio technology, and will definitely play an important role in the growth and development of Metaverse.

MetaSound & VR/AR/MR

VR/AR/MR is an important entrance to the "metaverse", and the VR/AR/MR device equipped with LEONIS MetaSound will be the mainstream in the future "metaverse" field. Based on LEONIS immersive audio technology HOLOSOUND, artificial intelligence technology, combined with the principle of binaural acoustics, LEONIS MetaSound technology achieves accurate sound image positioning through an original algorithm, and its powerful head tracking function can realize the directivity of audio rendering. That is, it varies according to the movements of the head of the wearer of the VR/AR/MR device.

If you are in the game, the most direct performance is that when you hear a sound from an opponent or teammate, even if you turn your head a little, you can accurately confirm the location of the sound. At the same time, MetaSound has also developed a corresponding immersive sound content platform to provide rich immersive materials, allowing you to truly roam in the VR/AR/MR world.

MetaSound's main advantages:

1) True 3D audio experience

It can output a real 3D surround experience, which is different from traditional 2D audio, giving people a stronger sense of surround.

2) Groundbreaking 3D audio algorithm

Help the brain to optimize the way of processing sound, decode the HOLOSOUND immersive audio format, and use object-based audio technology + channel-based audio technology + scene-based audio technology to achieve a greater sense of three-dimensionality, immersion, and realism of sound.

3) Headtracking patent position fidelity technology

True object-based audio technology (not stereo), sound source position does not change with head rotation at all.

4) An immersive material platform with rich content

Providing unlimited content in the form of APP, including music, movies, clips, commercials, etc.

5) The AUTO-EQ function based on artificial intelligence technology 

Can ensure the immersive sound effect to the greatest extent, so that each sound is very impactful and provokes your hearing.
