With the theme of co-creation between artists and Sony\u2019s technology, Sony introduces 360 Reality Audio, a new music experience which creates \u201csound fields\u201d that make listeners feel as if they are immersed in sound from all directions. This new experience will bring users new ways to enjoy music, adding to the \u201crich sound quality\u201d realized by High Resolution Audio (Hi-Res) and \u201csuperb audio functionality\u201d as seen in our highly-acclaimed noise canceling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
360 Reality Audio is made possible through object-based spatial audio technology. It can add distance, angle, and other positional information to a sound source such as vocals, chorus, instruments, etc. to produce a three-dimensional sound field where the different sounds and musical elements can be projected from anywhere inside a 360-degree space around the listener. This creates a rich and immersive music experience that feels just like being at a live concert. Compatible content will be produced4 in collaboration with major music labels and is expected to be made available through music distribution services5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
