Real-world applications of 3D audio

- [Instructor] All this sound design we've been talking about so far in this course has been framed in terms of sound for entertainment. It turns out that sound, especially spatialized and immersive audio exists quite extensively in the world outside of the entertainment sector. I'd like to highlight some of the fields sound especially 3D and immersive audio sound is being used. We'll start with augmented reality. Immersive and 3D audio is being implemented into maps and other augmented reality displays for car navigation systems. This is a great use for this audio technology since drivers can't be fully immersed in visual cues. They still have to watch the road. Immersive audio on the other hand is free game. If we can use it to help people get where they need to, it's a really good use of the immersive and 3D audio technology. That's just one example of how heads-up displays can be used for drivers. I'm sure you can think of some other applications for augmented reality sound…
