The evolution of audio experience
Imagine listening to a music performance while being able to move from one instrument to another. Or think about experiencing a soundscape in a real-world location. Those six degrees of freedom are standard in a game engine like Unity.
With the INTERACTIVE BUNDLE, you easily create your spatial mix in the DAW, using the high-quality spatializer dearVR PRO. dearVR SPATIAL CONNECT then transfers all positional automation to dearVR UNITY. Sharing the same dearVR CORE technology, you experience in Unity the same mix with the same quality, but now with six degrees of freedom.

DIVE DEEPER INTO INTERACTIVE AUDIO
FAQs
This bundle allows you to create an audio scene in your DAW and then make it interactive by bringing it to the interactive world. There, you will be able to walk through the scene you created, a concept called 6DOF. You start by mixing your audio scene in your DAW with dearVR PRO and dearVR SPATIAL CONNECT and then importing it into Unity using the dearVR UNITY plugin.
6DOF is the abbreviation for “six degrees of freedom.” This refers to the six degrees you can experience when walking through an audio scene. Three dimensions for walking through the scene plus three additional ones for turning your head in all directions.
The two-machine setup connects your DAW hosted on a Mac or PC to dearVR SPATIAL CONNECT, which only runs on a VR-ready Windows PC. With this, you can still use your main studio machine without having to handle a VR setup on the same device.
