Environment Occlusion OK, The Bad Guys Are Outside!
This feature makes gaming audio more realistic by recreating the effect of sound from adjacent environments passing through solid objects. It can even recreate how different materials affect sound, such as wood vs. brisk vs. stone and has been enhanced to be even more realistic than previous versions! This allows you to tell when a bad guy is outside the room you are in rather than inside.
Previous versions of EAX® supported a feature called occlusion. This feature recreated the effect of sound passing through a solid object (see the other EAX® sections for a detailed description). However the basic Occlusion effect only occluded the direct sound, but not the environmental reverb associated with that sound. This reduced the effectiveness and impact of the overall effect. Environment Occlusion? improves the realism by allowing the reverb effect itself as well as the direct sound to be muffled due to occluding objects. So you get the best simulation of real-world audio ever achieved!
Conclusion
These new features in EAX ADVANCED HD 5.0 will drive a whole new generation of games with the most realistic and engaging audio ever for a gaming experience that will send shivers down your spine!
However EAX ADVANCED HD 5.0 builds on the technologies and benefits of previous versions of EAX. If you are not familiar with these previous versions then please visit the EAX website for more details.
