The beauty and power of 3D Sound.
The beauty lies in the “ears” of the listener!
Before your first bike ride, did you know you will love it? Or your first trip to Hawaii, first sip of wine. We have to experience something to know that it was missing from our lives. I can say that for sure for the 3D sound experience. We don’t realize that we are hearing that stereo sound in 2D and one whole dimension is missing from our experience.
What is 3D sound?
If you close your eyes and start listening to your surroundings, can you tell where those bird are chirping? where are the footsteps coming from? When you can’t see, you can hear, and you can hear it in 3D in real life. Can you tell the location of the bird when you are listening on headphones? The joy of listening to your favorite music live. Why the live experience is different from any headphone you have used before? 3D is missing. Thats why!
How do we hear the sound in 3D?
One word answer: ear shapes. Have you even wondered why the ears are shaped in so many curves and folds? Each person has a different shape of the ear and the way we hear sound depends on it. We get the audio cues catered specificially to us through our ears. Each of us hear the same sound differently each of us is different and we have different ear shapes.
Can I experience it somehow?
YES!! The synthetic 3D sound is created based on your ear shape and even while using the headphones, you can hear it in 3D. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. It is a mind blowing experience that will change your life forever. I first got to get a taste of it (or should I say hear of it) at EmbodyVR. You give the picture of your ear, and it creates the sound that is personalized based on your ear shape. The complex AI algorithms are at work to learn your sound based on your ear shape. I listened to a lot of Pink Floyd and the sound seeped into my soul. I had never felt it before. And don’t even get me started about the gaming. You are the hacker in the game who is not hacking. Your enemy takes a sneaky single step and BOOM! you got them. The power of hearing that was unimaginable. May the power and beauty beholds on you.
