Spatialization

Spatialization refers to techniques used in audio and sound design to create a sense of space and directionality. It allows listeners to perceive where sounds are located in a three-dimensional environment, whether they originate from the left, right, front, back, or above. This process enhances immersion and realism in experiences like virtual reality, gaming, or music production by simulating how we naturally perceive sound sources in the real world. Essentially, spatialization makes sounds feel like they are happening around you, not just coming from a single point, enriching the depth and context of the audio experience.
