Variety: The clapperboard has been a staple of Hollywood filmmaking for decades. But in an era of virtual reality (VR) 360-degree video, the simple tool may not be enough anymore, and new tools are needed.
One of these could be Adobe’s SonicScape project, which is set to be unveiled at the company’s Adobe Max conference in Las Vegas Thursday. “We’ve developed a new way of visualizing ambisonic audio,” explained Adobe Design lab lead senior experience developer Yaniv De Ridder during an exclusive preview of the project for Variety.

I think that we often forget the power of audio. Whether it’s the soundtrack to Tokyo Drifter or Jaws - audio is very important. It’s great to see Adobe attempting to revolutionize sound. I think it will be super interesting to see if SonicScape will actually be applicable to anything directly related to theatre. I think part of making theatre more “immersive” is revolutionizing the idea of surround sound. I wonder if people will feel more connected to what is happening on the stage if this type of sound was applied to theatres. Also VR is extremely expensive and the more we continue to evolve the technology, it might result in VR becoming more accessible to the laymen. I also agree with the article when they talk about all of the problems with VR. Virtual reality is still such a new field. It’s great that Adobe - a huge corporation - has decided to attempt to make something that can work with virtual reality.
