Virtual Home Theater von Aurel Constantinescu
Diese VR-Anwendung erfordert Tastatur und Maus.

Virtual Home Theater (VHT) is a media player and desktop mirroring software that simulate the perceived audio and video of a real cinema or home theater system in virtual space, delivering true 3D spatial audio in VR, replacing the old "head-locked" stereo audio technology.

With Virtual Home Theater you can:

watch movies on a virtual big screen with virtual audio speakers (mono, stereo, 5.1, 7.1, etc.) and subtitle

listening to stereo, 5.1 and 7.1 surround channels music as on a real audio home theater system

listening to ambisonics audio

watch 180 or 360 degree videos

play non-VR games (also in stereo Side-by-Side mode and 5.1 surround audio if the game support it), browsing or watching a media stream on a virtual desktop big screen with your default Windows audio device mirrored as virtual audio speakers inside of VHT

Some of the main features are:

multiple audio and video formats support

support first-, second- and third-order ambisonics in the AmbiX and FuMa formats

HRTF-based 6 DoF binaural sound scene rendering for listener's head orientation (roll, pitch, yaw) and position (x, y, z)

multiple HRTFs selections to match your head auditory characteristics

32 audio channel masks (simulated as virtual speakers, mirroring the audio output channels from played media's audio track)

27 audio channel layouts for non-ambisonics audio: mono, stereo, 2.1, surround, 5.1, 6.0, 7.1, Hexadecagonal (16 audio channels), etc...

use a spherical audio channel layout with 26 virtual speakers to play an ambisonics audio

change the virtual speakers position

subtitles: internal (bitmap, text) and external (.srt, .idx)

track selection for audio, video and subtitle

use your preferred headphones by selecting a different audio output device

Unicode font support for non-Latin character used for subtitle and for media folder/file name

support access to network shared folders from a NAS (Network Attached Storage) system

azimuth, zoom level and objects apparent size change for 180 and 360-degree videos

change the audio offset azimuth from video image for 360-degree videos

multiple 3D video formats

180-degree front dome, 360-degree sphere Equirectangular (EQR) and 360-degree Equiangular cubemap (EAC) video mapping/projection

play a Network Stream from a direct URL to media

have a 'sneak peek' of your PC desktop (e.g. for internet browsing) when you watch a movie or listening to music within VHT

desktop mirroring will mirror (show inside of VHT) your PC desktops screens (limited to the number of physical displays connected to your main GPU)

desktop mirroring will mirror (simulate inside of VHT) your Windows default audio device channels output (no need to have real speakers connected to your PC) as virtual speakers

play a non-VR 3D game in stereoscopic mode (Side-by-Side or interlaced) if the game support it

virtual speakers layout and video screen re-position for a more comfortable experience in any sited position (e.g. lying on bed)

show a real time 3D surface or volumetric graph representation of sound waves pressure amplitude propagation from each virtual speaker

designed for low CPU and GPU resources use by VHT to make more CPU resource available for video decoding

designed to render the media's video original encoded picture quality and format without degradation (original resolution, picture details, colors and frame rate)

designed to render the media's audio track original encoded sound quality and layout without degradation or enhancements, as intended by media creator

optimized code for speed and low installation folder size (40 MB)
