3D audio coming in Dr Who
Since so many posters are using headphones, I though that you'd find this interesting. Provided that you even like Dr Who :P https://www.engadget.com/2017/05/01/doctor-who-binaural-3d-audio-episode/ 3D audio will make the next 'Doctor Who' episode even scarier The BBC is giving binaural audio a shot. This Saturday's episode of Doctor Who is a spooky affair called "Knock Knock," and it's getting a special binaural edition online immediately after the episode's premiere. Anyone wearing headphones (it's best experienced with headphones) can enjoy the 3D "surround sound" effect as they follow the Doctor and Bill on their latest adventure. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/doctorwho/entries/3a068c5d-033a-405c-a8a2-005f567e2010 episode preview (not binaraul) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoYqiCKVnpE Maybe the series will be available in VR soon and the audio is the first step :) This is a huge improvement over an earlier stereo simulcast that required users to tune into a radio station. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALJ7_tIm14A What's interesting, is that the BBC broadcast some of the Rio 2016 Olympic in 360° VR and has also broadcast live VR cancer surgery since then. http://www.bbc.co.uk/taster/projects/bbc-sport-360-rio-2016-olympics-vr http://www.bbc.com/news/av/technology-36046948/surgery-live-streamed-in-virtual-reality https://arstechnica.com/science/2016/04/watch-medical-realities-vr-surgery-live-stream/ For those of you that have VR Headsets, checkout http://www.bbc.co.uk/taster/projects/romes-invisible-city-vr and http://www.roadtovr.com/bbc-reward-home-a-vr-spacewalk-htc-vive/

I already watch Doctor Who in real 5.1 (as I do with PC games). Will that binaural thing only be for 2.0 users? I can't read the news right now.

The Dr Who after episode will be for headphone users only. You may have heard of Virtual Barbershop, which is an older version of the technology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veD-BzCyHJc YouTube implemented partial Binaural Audio support last year, that can be found in a few uploads. This goes into a little detail about the technology and how BBC R&D cracked the problem with proper implementation in 360° videos. It gets really freaky at 5:10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51za5u3LtEc Nvidia's has a SDK for their own VR version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3Y2BSHxKHU At GDC, MicroSoft had a talk discussing the Creator's Update "Introducing Spatial Audio Capabilities for Xbox and Windows (Presented by Microsoft)" http://schedule.gdconf.com/session/introducing-spatial-audio-capabilities-for-xbox-and-windows-presented-by-microsoft Sennheiser released their Ambeo headphones that can be used to record your surroundings at both ears for better audio https://www.engadget.com/2017/01/05/sennheiser-ambeo-headphones-record-3d-audio/
