I played around with the “fake” surround stuff a few weeks back. I must say it didnt win me over for gaming. Tried it out with my 70$ Chi-Fi stereo IEMs. Might work better with open headphones with a “wider sound stage”. I spent several hours on an afternoon switching around. IMHO the localization of sound in a 3d space wasnt any better compared to simple but good stereo output. My main comparison would be the spatial sound of my VR Headset where sometimes sound really seem to come from behind me and other mind boggling trickery. This didnt happen once with all the virtual surround solutions i tried.
Anyway i followed the instructions in this post:

Edit: Oh yeah and the famous binaural barbershop works really well with the IEMs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsJn0R-Ff_E
So idk if i just messed up or this whole virtual surround stuff is just yet another software audio voodoo bullshit.
5·2 months agoWhat an shitty article. Its about a new sensor which would make it practicable to implement global shutter into phones. Which is really exciting. But a global shutter on its own doesnt do anything to prevent motion blur. So the headline and conclusion is just wrong.
Like my old Motorola phone had horrible motion blur issues, too. But i could resolve that by just not using their shitty camera app and replace it with a modded gcam.
Motionblur is directly related to shutterspeed. edit: And how the camera software/algorhithm deals with that/uses trickery to prevent that. But rolling shutters or global shutters dont differ in the speed. Its about how the sensor gets read out. Maybe technically there are slight differences. I’m not an expert. But it should be negliable.
While you can have rolling shutter artifacts in photography with warped fast moving objects most of the time rolling shutter isnt an issue in most cases. The really big advantage comes with video because it gets less “wobbly” when panning the camera with a global shutter. Thats huge.
