Great review! One thing that should be noted is that the relationship between your hrtf and the one used by the different plugins matters. Someone with a more/less similar hrtf to the default may feel differently about the 360 localization test. Steam audio now allows for customized hrtfs, which could be a big plus. Not sure if the others are offering this as of yet.

Can you point us toward any resources for L3 and 4?

Do you mean taking a binaural recording into a game engine and the sound image changes dynamically as you turn your head? Or isolate individual sounds in the recording?
The prior is possible Unity, for example, but it only works with 1st order ambisonics so far, as Unity doesn’t like audio tracks with more than 8 channels yet (as per November 2018) (although documentation says HOA is possible!).

Thank you for a great article! i was thinking of doing the same, but just haven’t got the time. Thanks for taking the time to shine a light on the differences!
Will you keep comparing the Audio SDK’s as they come out with new updates? I know there have been bugs and other incompatibility details with latest versions of Unity and things keep changing, so it would be grat to have a guide when starting a new project, which things have been fixed, etc. as it’s hard to keep track of things and keep an informed overview.

Cheers!
Anna

I.e. can I take a binaural field recording, and get the direction of the sound to change dynamically? Or can this only be done with synthesised sound sources?
