Ambisonics
Ambisonics is a full-sphere spatial audio encoding and reproduction technique that captures and reproduces three-dimensional sound fields. Developed by Michael Gerzon in the 1970s, it uses spherical harmonics to represent sound at all directions around a central point. Unlike surround systems that use discrete channels, Ambisonics provides a format-agnostic spatial representation that can be rotated, translated, and rendered to any speaker configuration.
