Whilst we can't journey down under right now, we can embark on an immersive experience from the comfort of our homes with Tourism Australia
Specs on, headphones at the ready! We're going to be heading down under for an immersive 8D experience, discovering the colours, sights and sounds of Australia...
What is 8D?
8D audio is an effect that is applied to standard stereo audio to create the illusion that the audio is circling around you in a 360 degree space, similar to surround sound. The effect can only be heard when wearing headphones or earphones.
Black: A Moment of Inspiration
From the vast starlit skies to the art galleries of Australia's big cities, the colour black is elegantly threaded through the fabric of Australia. Immerse yourself in the scenes and sounds of black, and you'll see why this dark and mysterious hue is used to convey sophistication and elegance, and to make a statement when no other colour will do.
