DTS Headphone X is a magical product that can make all your music, movies and games sound like they are happening all around you. The only way to really understand it is to experience it, so over the years I have created several demos to bring it to life. Here are just some of the pieces we have used at conferences, in-apps, online, and as partnership opportunities.
HPX & Dave Stewart
We collaborated with Dave Stewart from the Eurythmics to engineer a music video designed to be heard in surround sound. He was releasing a new album and 'Every Single Night' was set in a circus where we could make trapeze artists whirl overhead, elephants run circles around listeners and have rain completely surround you. Unfortunately, Headphone:X has to be heard in-app or in-studio to get the full effect but you these videos still give you a pretty good taste.
Headphone: X In-App Video:
Here is an in-app video that I designed to instruct users on how to set-up Headphone:X on their headphones. This was one in a series of 3 videos you encountered during the process.
The HPX Listening Experience:
What better way to showcase surround sound than augmented reality where you can actually visualize what is happening around someone? For CES 2014, we created an intricate demo which transported people to a top secret sound lab which was unexpectedly taken over by an alien invasion. To go from being in pitch black and hearing the crunch of branches and unearthly mutterings to having an entire forest scene envelop listeners with aliens scrambling past them was an over-the-top immersive experience.
