Dolby Axon allows us to enhance and elevate the voice experience by allowing players to better communicate with each other. Ultimately, we expect 3D voice to be a new, significant element of game play.”

with surround panning and distance attenuation
* An occlusion engine that dynamically responds to game geometry, enabling
gamers to experience voice communication that matches the game environment
* Voice fonts that allow gamers to take on the vocal attributes of game
characters, which can range from a high-pitched elf voice to the dark and
sinister tones of an ogre
* Dolby voice pipeline, which delivers a clear voice experience free of unwanted
noise, echo, clipping, and leveling problems
* Flexible API offering creative integration and game play options to
developers, including the ability to create new voice experiences in games
