The Zoom H3-VR, virtual reality audio recorder, is the complete solution for capturing and processing the spatial sound of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality content. With a built-in mic, recorder and ambisonic decoder, the H3 VR puts 360 ° sound in the palm of your hand.
Whether you are a game developer, director or musician, virtual reality (VR) is the undeniable future of content creation. As the popularity of the 360-degree video exploded, the ability to easily create 360-degree sound was falling behind ... at least so far.
