Performance Evaluation of Audio SDK’s in Virtual Reality

  Vishal Chiluka,  Prof. Varshapriya J. N.,  Ambrish Dhantrey

Virtual reality (VR) is a real-time and interactive technology. It means that the computer can detect user inputs and modify the virtual world instantaneously. Interactivity and its captivating power contribute to the feeling of being the part of the action on the environment that the user. Sound in Virtual Reality can be used to ease people into the experience, what we also call “on boarding.” It can be used subtly and subconsciously to guide viewers by motivating them to look in a specific direction of the virtual world, which surrounds them. Various audio SDK’s and sdks for enhancing realism and immersive experience of audio in virtual reality are available and various parameters are taken into consideration while judging the performance of any SDK. The proposed system is then used to monitor and evaluate an in-depth study of 3 different audio sdks which are available for virtual reality i.e. NVIDIA’s VrWorks audio, steam’s photon audio sdk and oculus audio sdk.
