A3D (Aureal 3-Dimensional) is a technology developed by Aureal Semiconductor, and used in their Vortex line of products, that delivers holophonic (three-dimensional) sound through headphones, two or even four speakers. A3D version 3.0 incorporated two core elements, A3Dverb and A3Dspace. The technology uses head-related transfer functions (HRTF), which the human ear interprets as spatial cues indicating the location of a particular sound source. Many modern sound cards and PC games incorporated A3D via license from Aureal. Due to Aureal's acquisition (see below) the A3D technology is now part of the intellectual property of Creative Labs and some features may be licensed under different product names such as EAX.
