I have been uploading 360 videos to the 360 Videos folder on the Samsung Gear VR micro SD card for some time now. All these videos have been with stereo sound. I am now ready to upload videos with 360 binaural sound, which will respond the motion of the head and stay in sync with the changing video. How can I do this? I see that the Strangers Patrick Watson video has separate sound files. Is this the way to go?
MilkVR supports 5.1 spatial audio that can just be baked into the mp4 file. An example video with that spatial audio is here that can be played in MilkVR: https://milkvr.com/cdn/assets/CarBee51.mp4. More details on our spatial audio spec can be found here: https://milkvr.com/#/content/spec. We are usually able to convert the typical binaural separate wave + mp3 files into this 5.1 format. This also has the advantage that it is easier to stream.
Hi xfghsfgh. Do you have the exact settings for the spatial sound encoding ? I have created several AAC sound files, baked them into an mp4 but none are played by MILK Vr. I have Logic Pro as well as Premiere.

Brian,
See your conference on youtube, i wish i was there but....
My question is, How can i proceed without any Videogames software (unity, wwise ect) to provide sound file for oculus. I hope i can work with Third order ambisonic and then decode the sound scene in any axis i need. The best way would be to have a sound engine (API or i don't know what) that read ambisonic files and decode them in binaural considering the head movement tracking. I had to admit that i can't found information to make a file for Oculus.Can you give me a cooking lesson to implement an external mix (i mean created on a standard DAW)in an Oculus File.

Hi Brian,
I get some answer since the last time. The thing is that every VR player don't tell much about audio specs. How many stream, which codec, sample rate etc... a lot of questions that remain unsolved.
It seems that the best way is to deliver 4 binaural Files for each the quadrant (0°,90°,180°,270°). MilkVR choose this way, but i can't find a desktop player that is doing the same.
Samsung VR is our final player, but i need to check my final mixing before sending them to my clients. Is their any bridge between OculusDK2 and samsung VR, A player that is doing the same thing (Mixing the 4 binaural files considering the head tracking position).
