Please contact the course administrator to sign up for this course.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

GAI-401 will introduce you to a variety of advanced topics, covering procedural and generative audio, using Unreal’s MetaSounds, and an introduction into the uses and abuses of generative AI with an assignment to use an LLM to code audio behavior. Lastly, we’ll visit spatialized audio design and implementation in immersive environments, emphasizing VR, AR, and MR/XR applications. We will combine theoretical understanding of these technologies with practical experience in Wwise and Dolby Atmos For Games in Unity, and creating interactive soundscapes for a hands-on Game Lesson, Zenith:Echo’s Ascent.

Key Takeaways:

  • Introduction to Procedural and Generative Audio With Unreal MetaSounds
  • Useful Generative AI Information and Practices using LLMs
  • Implementation of 3D spatial audio in Unity using Wwise and Dolby Atmos For Games.
  • Audio design and mixing tailored to interactive VR/AR projects.
  • Professional presentation and critique of a finished spatial audio project.
