Hearing the Space: Spatial Audio in XR | XR Innovate Masterclass 2
Date: 4 June 2025
Venue: Nerve Centre, 7-8 Magazine Street, Derry, Derry, BT48 6HJ
How do you create a world you can't see but can still feel completely immersed in?
Delivered by: Victoria Eyton (DARKFIELD)
This masterclass delves into the role of spatial audio in XR and the emotional and narrative impact of binaural sound. Led by DARKFIELD's Victoria Eyton, the session explores how immersive sound design can create presence, manipulate perception, and drive audience experience, particularly in non-visual environments.
Drawing from DARKFIELD's globally renowned container-based audio experiences, Victoria will unpack how texture, location and rhythm shape the narrative arc in XR spaces and leave lasting psychological impressions.
Designed especially for creatives who are curious about using spatial sound, this session will highlight how sound alone can deliver world-building, storytelling, and embodied experience.
