Logitech Chorus Offers Audio Add-on to Virtual Reality Headset Design

Logitech unveiled Logitech Chorus, a new integrated audio solution designed from the ground up for the Meta Quest 2, a Virtual Reality Headset sold by Facebook. The Logitech VR accessory uses Balanced Mode Radiator (BMR) drivers from Tectonic, adding a convenient "off-ear speaker" solution that is similar to the one created for the Valve Index Headset. Without touching the ears, the design was custom tuned by Tectonic to offer total but safe immersion for those experimenting with VR.

The AES Audio Product Education Institute (APEI) presents the third webinar on a series detailing the practice and benefits of simulation-driven audio developments. These APEI Modeling and Measurement sessions discuss the role of Digital Twins and how to influence fundamental design considerations, even before the first prototype is built to proof a concept. November 17, Ulrik Skov (Reality Labs at Meta) shares an actual project using a High Fidelity Poroacoustic Digital Twin.

The AES Audio Product Education Institute (APEI) continues to explore the practice and benefits of simulation-driven audio architecture design. In the second Modeling and Measurement webinar in this series (October 27, 12pm EDT), experts from COMSOL, JJR Acoustic and Facebook, will describe and detail a real virtual architectural design story. Registration for this webinar is now available.

The AES Audio Product Education Institute (APEI) promotes a new webinar series on its Modeling and Measurement education pillar to explore the use of Digital Twins as a new simulation-driven audio architecture design. With audio development of increasingly sophisticated audio products now starting almost always with the creation of digital models, the possibilities to adjust practices between different teams are driving new audio product development practices.
