New in SentioVR: Audio hotspots and background sound to VR experiences
We are excited to launch audio features on our platform. Our users can now make use of audio to enrich their VR presentations ensuring the immersion of VR experiences. While SentioVR already allows adding texts to add information to the 360 environment, audio integration provides a powerful tool to add further context — enabling users to get details about products they view, descriptions or general information on the ambience being viewed. Here’s what you need to know about the audio features in SentioVR.
Once you upload audio files to your space, you can select whether to add audio hotspots or background audio or both in each 360 image of the space. This gives you complete control over the presentation you plan to share with your audience.
Add audio files
Upload audio files in mp3, wav or ogg format up to 1MB from your desktop and upload to the space you are creating or editing.
Add audio hotspots
You can choose to create a audio hotspot that can be placed at any particular point on the 360 image. Click on the audio icon, place the icon on the image, choose the file and press OK to place an audio hotspot. When users click on it in 2D mode or gaze on it in VR mode, the audio file is played.

Add background audio
You can also choose to use a background audio. Click on the background audio icon, choose the file and press OK to set the background sound for each image on your space. When users view the space in VR or 2D mode, the background audio automatically starts playing.

Automatic sync with all platforms
Once you’ve created your spaces with audio files in SentioVR, it is synced and ready to present in any platform you choose — as a web link or in Gear VR using the SentioVR app on Oculus Store and your access code.
We hope you like these new features that will enable architects and designers to use Virtual Reality as a tool for communicating their designs to stakeholders.
If you’re an architect and not using SentioVR, we invite you to give it a try. It’s free for 30 days & there are good reasons we think it will benefit your business.
