The entire place is so packed with innovations and ideas, it’s like the entire world’s waited all year just to reveal what they’ve been busy hatching up in the seclusion of their basement.

Virtual Reality Gets Real At CES 2017 With The Launch of Dirac VR

A final frontier in making virtual reality real will be crossed at CES 2017 when Dirac Research, the global leader in platform-optimized sound enhancement technology, introduces its Dirac VR platform featuring patent-pending dynamic HRTFs (head-related transfer functions) that consider the isolated movements of the head in relation to the human torso. The demonstrations are taking place at the Venetian Hotel in Suite 31-215, from January 5-8, 2017.

In HiFi, Virtual Reality Might Be Better Than Reality

As I write this, I’m listening to a recording of Joss Stone. Her voice sounds completely natural, hovering in the air just a few meters in front of me, placed distinctly at the center of my sound system, remaining there regardless of how I move my head. I can almost touch the ambience of the recording. The low frequency extension is great, the room modes are extremely well controlled. The listening room is remarkably well treated, with just the right amount of air and sense of space, and without the annoyance of comb filters or spectral coloration. It’s treated so well, I don’t need digital room correction. This is an experience you can’t get without a HiFi and room treatment budget of at least $100,000 USD. The funny fact is this: I’m getting this experience with a pair of headphones. And the sound system I’m referring to? It’s a virtual one.
