Resonance Audio: Multi-platform spatial audio at scale

Resonance Audio is a spatial audio software development kit (SDK) released by Google, designed to enhance immersive experiences in augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), gaming, and 360-degree videos by providing rich, dynamic sound environments without compromising performance, even on mobile devices. Leveraging technology from Google's VR Audio SDK, it uses advanced digital signal processing algorithms and higher order Ambisonics to manage hundreds of simultaneous 3D sound sources efficiently. The SDK supports major platforms like Android, iOS, Windows, MacOS, and Linux, and integrates with popular game engines and digital audio workstations (DAWs), offering seamless workflows for developers and sound designers. It introduces features like precomputed realistic reverb effects, control over the directionality of acoustic waves, near-field effects for accurate distance perception, and sound source spread. Resonance Audio also includes a DAW plugin for monitoring spatial audio and an Ambisonic recording tool for capturing and deploying sound designs, making it a versatile tool for creating complex sound environments across various media.
