Finding Space For Sound: Acoustics in 'Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora' | GDC 2024

Five years ago, Snowdrop Audio Architect Robert Bantin showed us how the Snowdrop Engine delivered high-fidelity environmental acoustic effects for “Tom Clancy’s The Division 2”. With “Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora” these technologies had to be adapted or re-designed to a planetary scale, while also maintaining their fidelity at a city scale. Not only was this achieved, but this raised the bar on quality, delivering even more detailed acoustic effects such as: physically accurate early and late reflections; and more elegant direct field estimation.

Finally found it. I'm working with electric audio waves, also longitudinal, by using electrostatic induction. behaves very similar to sound waves
