Spacial sound - Dolby Atmos compatibility

Hey. I’m an aspiring developer here on the ROBLOX platform. Every day, I strive to create better and more sustainable environments for players and users. Lately, I’ve been thinking about a feature which could greatly impact the ROBLOX gaming industry. Dolby Atmos surround sound experience.

This feature could be completely separate from the ROBLOX sound. Yes, ROBLOX may already include somewhat a surround sound system, but it’s much different compared to Dolby surround sound. I know, you must be thinking, this idea is far fetched. Well, I must agree, it is. However, I’d like to change the sound and tweak it in some sort of way.

This feature, if implemented, could create 2 more areas of sound. The first being above, and second being below. ROBLOX, as I’ve already said, includes this feature. The thing is though, Dolby provides a more dynamic world of sound which could get the player immersed into a different world when playing.

The game would feature Dolby Surround 9.1. When hooked up to speakers/headphones/headsets, the user could experience sound from completely different angles, which can’t bee seen much with the current one the system possesses. Sounds could be heard from different angles, making the user feel as if they could be right there, in the moment. I have already read a few posts about this.

I’m anticipated to read your replies. Thank you for reading this.

I like this idea, I think it could really take off with studios that pay attention to small immersive details like that. Do you have any audio samples we could listen to?

I have 7.1 surround headphones so this would be nice to have. :slightly_smiling_face:
