The latest wave of commodity virtual reality equipment has allowed unprecedented access to virtual experiences for consumers and researchers alike. Leading technology companies today are becoming increasingly invested in VR audio with new products, such as Facebook\u2019s Spatial Workstation and Google\u2019s Resonance Audio, that facilitate the use of advanced spatial audio techniques with popular game engines and digital audio workstations. However, most modern VR platforms impart an ancillary role to audio, where sounds serve to amplify visual immersion. As a result, audio remains an afterthought for many content developers and VR researchers despite its inherent role in immersion. It is therefore necessary to elaborate ways in which we can think natively about VR audio and articulate the role of sound in the\u00a0ultimate displays<\/i>\u00a0of the future. In this workshop, we aim to not only highlight recent developments in VR audio, but also identify the needs of the VR community in creating compelling virtual auditory experiences for the next generation of immersive media. Accordingly, we seek submissions that address such topics as:<\/div>\n
