OpenAL (Open Audio Library)

OpenAL (Open Audio Library) is an open-source software technology that provides tools for creating and managing 3D sound environments in applications and games. It enables developers to simulate realistic audio experiences by controlling how sounds are positioned, moved, and affected by the environment, similar to how we perceive sounds in real life. OpenAL allows for immersive audio experiences, such as hearing sounds from different directions or distances, enhancing realism and user engagement. It’s platform-independent, meaning it works across various operating systems, and is commonly used in gaming, virtual reality, and multimedia applications.
