Ambisonics
Ambisonics is a 3D audio technology that captures and reproduces sound from all directions. It uses a special microphone setup to record sound fields, allowing listeners to experience audio as if they were in the original environment. This technique is often used in virtual reality and immersive audio applications.
The recorded sound is represented in a mathematical format called B-format, which can be decoded for playback on various speaker configurations. Ambisonics provides a more natural listening experience compared to traditional stereo or surround sound, as it allows for precise spatial positioning of sounds in a three-dimensional space.
