Headtracking - A Deeper Dive into the World of Audio

What is Headtracking?

Headtracking is a technology that captures a user's head movements in real-time, adjusting audio playback accordingly. This enhances immersion and spatial perception, creating a more realistic listening experience.

The Benefits of Headtracking in dearVR MONITOR

Utilizing headtracking in dearVR MONITOR not only improves front-back localization but also significantly enhances the realism of the sound impression. With the new Spatial Connect Adapter, users can connect head tracker via OSC and incorporate their head movements into the virtual acoustics, improving both localization and the overall experience.

New Headphone Compensation (HPC) Curves

A significant enhancement in this update is the introduction of new Headphone Compensation (HPC) curves tailored for popular headphones such as the Sennheiser HD490 PRO, Sennheiser HD 660S2, Beyerdynamic DT 700 PRO X, and Beyerdynamic DT 900 PRO X. These models, in addition to the already integrated ones, can now be selected within the plugin, offering users a more accurate sound reproduction.

New Formats for Pro Tools

Another noteworthy addition is the support for new formats in the DAW Pro Tools, including 9.0.4, 9.1.6, and 9.0.6. These formats further expand the capabilities of Pro Tools users, allowing them to mix in more diverse and complex audio configurations.
