Kent Bye, host of ‘Voices of VR’, interviews OSSIC CEO Jason Riggs about the company’s new “immersive audio” headphones, the OSSIC X, and the device’s role in the future of music production. These headphones are able to customize to your anatomy and dynamically calibrate to your ears for uncanny, out-of-body experiences that complement the feeling of VR games. And as part of Abbey Road Studios’ Red Incubator, the company is looking to impact the music industry with an “audio sandbox” that allows listeners to interact with and mix musical objects in a 360-degree environment.
