On one side there’s sound for films- linear, on the other there’s sound for video games- interactive. In the middle, there is this gray area where immersive XR soundscapes can be created using both linear and interactive sound design approaches. Coming from the linear world, learning interactive audio has been a journey (and still is) but the ability to combine both to explore new ways of storytelling ...
Wwise Audio Lab (WAL) is an open-source game-like 3D environment developed with Unreal Engine 4 available through the Wwise Launcher.

Ambisonic panning versus VBAP
Wwise Help
The default panning algorithm of 3D sounds implemented in Wwise is based on the ubiquitous VBAP algorithm, which maximizes sound accuracy at the expense of some variability of the energy spread. That is, the energy spread is minimal when the virtual source is aligned with a loudspeaker, and is maximal when it is exactly in the middle of a loudspeaker arc (for standard configurations) or triangle (for ...
The following image displays the tracks of an ambisonic Ambience Space Station subproject. These projects are arranged with layers that form ambient loops.
