Ray casting Audio: Dynamic audio techniques in video games

This project intends to enhance the player’s immersion by implementing ray casting systems to make audio feel more immersive and dynamic for users, without impacting the performance of the game or the editor, to enhance the systems in the Unity Engine following the approach of other AAA companies. It focus on systems to average the distances between the player and the other elements in the scene and calculating the occlusion of sound emitters by taking into account the materials of the objects around the player, using optimized systems implemented in Unity to be used in the future as tools by other developers
