Anyway I might be able to get my hands on one of those #ambisonics tetrahedral mic arrays. The response of the array gives you a set of channels you can use to orient the sound field in any direction around the listener.
@InTheLandOfTheRisingSun it was invented in the 70s, but people are using it more lately, because it's ideal for VR.
@InTheLandOfTheRisingSun I just want to my able to go around and record sounds, and it's and easy-ish way to do multichannel audio in a portable setup
@InTheLandOfTheRisingSun the mic array records something like an audio hologram.
@confusedcharlot VR sure is complicated and amazing (says the person who has literally never done anything with VR)
