Abstract:
A system 3 synchronises a plurality of virtual reality headsets 2 to corresponding multichannel audio. System 3 has a plurality of independently operable virtual reality headsets each having one or more images preloaded thereon and a distribution device 4 in the form of a server is in Wi-Fi communication via a wireless access point 5 with each virtual reality headset where the server 4 triggers the one or more preloaded images on each headset. A sound rack device 6 is in Wi-Fi communication with server 4 and configured to send time codes signals thereto. A sound mixer 7 is in cable communication with the sound rack device 6 and receives audio file data corresponding to virtual reality image content therefrom simultaneously with the server 4. The server 4 is cable connected to the wireless access point 5 and configured to simultaneously message each headset 2. At least one speaker element is provided for each channel of audio being connected to the mixer 7 such that upon receipt of the audio file, the mixer 7 is configured to relay each channel audio signal to respective speakers 8 in synchronisation with the VR headset images.
