Mach1 Mach1 is a sound technology company started in 2015 by Dražen Bošnjak and Jacqueline Bošnjak specializing in audio for virtual reality projects. Mach1 was developed to overcome the audio limitations of game engines like Unreal Engine and Unity. Mach1 technologies and techniques extend traditional audio engineering practices to interactive media, especially virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). Mach1 focuses development on its custom spatial audio formats that do not utilize additional active processes during user playback. Mach1's Spatial format is a multi-channel isotropic audio file with an 8x1 configuration at 48k/44.1k 16bit sample rate. All 8 channels are placed into a single audio track. For support on Android hardware running Samsung VR, that audio track is transcoded to 4 audio tracks with 2 channels each. Mach1 technology has been implemented in numerous VR projects including The Martian VR Experience, Mr. Robot, The New York Times Magazine VR, Ford VR at 24 Hours of Le Mans, and VR films that have appeared at Fantastic Fest. In November 2016, Mach1 partnered with Secret Location, and Moving Picture Company to power The New York Times VR app for Google Daydream. Mach1 provided audio for Ridley Scott and David Karlak's Alien: Covenant In Utero VR experience for Oculus Rift and Samsung VR, which served as a teaser for the 2017 film Alien: Covenant.
