Spatial sound creates the illusion that sounds come from a 3D space rather than from speakers located in a fixed position. In game development, spatial sound provides audio that seems as though it is emanating from points in space within a game world. Spatial sound follows characters as they move through the game space, allowing players to experience sounds as though they are coming from specific directions.
