Valve today announced the release of the Steam Audio SDK, a space audio plug-in called "enhance all interactive products, especially VR applications." The company has launched a beta version of the SDK, supports Unity, and will support UE4 in the future.
The sound of reality is a very important but often not valued aspect of immersiveness in VR. The basic stereo output allows you to play on the monitor, taking you out of its world immersive first person perspective. But when you play VR games, your brain has some judgment about what the world around you should have.
VR audio is not a problem that has been "resolved", but some solutions today offer a huge difference. Now, developers want a free option for implementing spatial audio in their VR applications, thanks to Valve's recently released Steam Audio SDK. Unity is now supported, and the Steam Audio SDK will soon support Unreal Engine. The company stated that the use of spatial audio tools is completely open and supports Windows, Linux, MacOS and Android, not limited to any specific VR device or Steam (HTC is crying out in the toilet), which means developers can build Oculus Rift Or Gear VR application.
The technology of the Steam Audio SDK is developed by Impulsonic, and Impulsonic developed the Phonon audio tool, but this tool has been acquired by Valve.
Valve wrote: "Steam Audio is an advanced spatial audio solution that uses physics-based sound propagation and HRTF-based binaural audio to increase immersion. Spatial audio significantly enhances immersion in VR. 3D audio Technology should focus on adding physical-based sound propagation, further improving the experience by consistently reconstructing sounds, and interacting with virtual environments."
According to Valve, one of the biggest advantages of the Steam Audio SDK is automatic real-time sound propagation:
In reality, sound is emitted from a sound source, after which it rebounds through the environment and interacts and reflects with various objects before reaching the audience. Developers want to simulate this effect and tend to manually tune using manually adjusted filters and scripts to achieve approximate sound propagation. The valve audio can automatically simulate these sound propagation effects.
