6DoF HOA Renderer plugin 

Boost your VR and game productions with navigable volumetric 6DoF sound

​The ZYLIA 6 Degrees of Freedom Higher Order Ambisonics Renderer is a Wwise and MaxMSP plugin.

​This plugin is the key element in ZYLIA's 6DoF Navigable Audio solution.  
The plugin allows for the processing and rendering of ZYLIA 6DoF Navigable audio content and interpolates the sound field between 3rd order Ambisonics spheres. These sources can be synthetic or recorded with multiple ZM-1S microphones. With the ZYLIA 6DoF HOA renderer plugin, users can playback synchronized Ambisonics files, change the listener’s position, and orientation between multiple Ambisonics spheres. 
With ZYLIA's Wwise 6DoF plugin, you have easy access to implementing volumetric sound in any VR application or game engines that interfaces with Wwise.
​End users will experience natural and immersive navigable
​6 degrees of freedom sound on their mobile
​and stationary devices. ​Developers can explore and integrate the computational advantages of volumetric interpolation (Read more).
