'Hot Cocoa in VR' "Winter Edition" in 5K Stereo 360 - AmbiX (Revised audio mix & 8 bit color conv.)
4The holidays are over but for many, winter is not. With that in mind, I have gone back and removed all of the holiday stuff, changed out the music, and Pamela S. Scott, LMFT has volunteered to provide us another soothing "Guided Sensory Perception" voice-over to continue to help you escape to our "safe place" cabin to rest, relax and most important -- recharge your emotional batteries to face another day. Oh yea, and we added a little "friend" to help you feel a little less lonely.
Now for the technical stuff:
This version of Hot Cocoa in VR is based off a novel/new technique to capture full 16bit HDR stereo projection cube maps and color graded down to 12-bit Apple Pro Res in Rec.709 color space, then optimized in AdobePremiere to push up the mid levels to make it easier on the eyes in your #VR headset. This version is also includes a novel new way to capture #Ambisonic audio from a 5.1 channel sequence for left/right, front/back, "omni", plus a 5.1 channel sequence to capture Up/Down. Using this technique and the Ambisonic VST library from Matthias Kronlachner allowed these nine channels to create the full spatial audio experience within the Unreal Engine without having to add additional audio tracks or positioning outside of the fixed positioning required to map the eight channels, plus one omni or center channel. This technique allows the full spatial experience to be heard as though you were listening to it in the actual #VirtualReality app, which the "Winter Edition" will be available soon.
