Virtual and Augment Reality (VAR) is a rapidly developing area of creative technology. As VAR technologies begin to mature and become more widely adopted, it is clear that the quality and detail of the immersive experience will be of increasing importance. Central to this will be high quality immersive sound. There is a saying in VR: "the ears point the eyes". When we hear a sound that is out of our field of view, we instinctively look round to find its source. Sound is a deeply embedded aspect of any VAR experience and is an important instigator for interaction in immersive environments, yet many VAR companies have been predominantly focused on graphics and image.The aim of this partnership is to develop new technologies for working creatively with high quality VAR sound in the most detailed ways, and to explore new creative applications for VAR sound. These could include soundscape recording, 'sonic tourism', new forms of creativity, interactive distance-learning, remote performing-art collaboration, and so on. In the future, VAR will find creative uses that are as yet unimagined. This partnership will help UK and Chinese creative industries on that journey of imagination.

虚拟和增强现实（VAR）是一个快速发展的创新技术领域。随着VAR技术开始成熟并被广泛采用，很明显，沉浸式体验的质量和细节将变得越来越重要。其核心将是高质量的沉浸式声音。VR界有句俗话：“耳朵指向眼睛”。当我们听到我们视野之外的声音时，我们本能地环顾四周寻找它的来源。声音是任何虚拟现实体验的一个重要组成部分，是沉浸式环境中互动的重要推动因素，但许多虚拟现实公司主要关注的是图形和图像。此次合作的目的是开发新技术，以最详细的方式创造性地使用高质量的VAR声音，并探索VAR声音的新创意应用。这些可能包括音景录制、“声音旅游”、新形式的创造力、互动远程学习、远程表演艺术合作等等。在未来，VAR将找到迄今无法想象的创造性用途。这一伙伴关系将帮助中英两国的创意产业踏上想象之旅。
