sound spatialization techniques

Sound spatialization techniques create the perception that audio comes from specific locations in three-dimensional space. These methods simulate how sound waves interact with the environment and our ears, using cues like timing, volume differences, and filtering. Common techniques include stereo panning, which moves sound between speakers; binaural processing, mimicking how ears hear different signals; and advanced 3D audio algorithms that position sounds around the listener. These methods enhance immersive experiences in music, gaming, and movies by making sounds feel more realistic and placed in a virtual space.
