Boise State Computer Graphics and Visualization Laboratory

Immersive Experience Studios is excited to provide immersive interactive soundscapes for the High-Resolution 360 panoramas captured by the BSU Art and Computer Science Departments.

The panorama for this project was a nocturnal vista of the Court of Ramses II in Cairo’s Luxor Temple.  The requirements were to create a Spatial Audio soundscape to evoke the sensation of the court in its heyday – complete with a royal procession entering the court and an open-air market outside the court – for the Oculus Rift VR Headset.  

IES produced the Spatial Audio score and sound effects, collaborated with the BSU students to create a state based audio rendering engine in Unity Game Engine, then tuned the trigger points and length of the audio assets to ensure an accurate response to the viewer’s position and rotation.  

The BSU faculty and students were delighted with the results – a 360 immersive experience that transported the viewer to the Court of Ramses II !
