VR sound effects for headsets, where the world has to stay put while the player's head turns. That's why so much here is ambisonic or binaural: apartments with the window open and shut, beaches, rainforest and village life, recorded to wrap around the listener. There are UI clicks and selects too, for menus floating in front of the player.

Ambisonic recordings are the useful ones for VR, and Ambisonics has plenty more of them. The game engine can rotate the whole sound field as the head moves, so a wave keeps breaking in the same spot however the player turns. That's the whole trick. Binaural stereo gives a similar sense of space on headphones, but it's fixed to the head, so it suits menus and cutscenes better. The apartment roomtones come with the window open and closed, which is handy when a player walks over and opens one and the Cityscape outside gets louder. Crossfade between the takes and it just works.
