[2021] How to find zombies you can hear but can't see?

Originally posted by Shane: yea you can get left/right front/back on both "headphones" & "vr" but you can never get such precision as that. even a IMAX cinema cant achieve it... nor real life ;)

that scene in the bodyguard in the forest complete rubbish hehe

the problem is speakers can deliver left/right front/back, however headphones will make it seem more in your face because your wearing something that literally blocks out R/L external sounds.

at best your headphones are going to cut out sound from the left ear, indicating the enemy i sto your right, beyond that nothing. thats how VR does it, expect the level of reality on VR because its 3D enhances it further

meaning all you have is 100% fire to the left, not "close my eyes and hit the target to the left" ... thats not happening

erm.. With a good quality surround headset you can get audio that can shift forward or back within the side it's on. With a great quality one, it can seamlessly shift the audio from one side to the other by lowering the volume as if the thing were going 'in front of' or 'behind' you, and much more.

In the good sets, it's broken up into the left, left forward surround, left rear surround, center, right, right forward surround, right rear surround- And sometimes even more, all of which can individually present sounds as louder or quieter. allowing you to detect with a great degree of accuracy what direction something is.

It's been a long, long time since audio was just left, or just right in anything but the worst of headsets.
