Hey Massdroppers, we wanted to give you a sneak peek at some cool audio tech we're working on with leading device manufactures and streaming/broadcast platforms around the world.
It's called THX Spatial Audio and it's going to change the way you experience your favorite entertainment. No more dependencies on channel-based surround sound set ups! Using higher-order Ambisonics and objects within the audio design process, you'll experience deeper immersion and incredible realism of sonic soundscapes in a 360 degree sphere all around you with headphones or speakers. Leveraging MPEG-H content creators will be able to deliver more audio data with a smaller audio payload, unlocking unprecedented levels of accessibility, fidelity, and interactivity with your content. Imagine watching a sporting event on your mobile device and being able to toggle between specific mics used to record the content, effortlessly change the language or the commentator, or turn the commentary off all together.
You'll be hearing lots more about THX Spatial Audio in the near future from THX and our premium partners from around the globe.

I'm sold if this is purely a piece of software.
I am very excited that a major audio player is seriously pursuing personalized HRTF! Can you expand at all on the 2D imaging technology used to measure individual ear response?
GiantHeadphoneSquidTHX Spatial Audio's Personalized HRTF feature uses a simple app to capture the ear image. Sends to cloud where advanced AI/ML analyzes 10,000 data points of the ear to create your personal HRTF. The user would then download the HRTF to compatible devices e.g. a PC. That's all we can tell you for now. Stay tuned! 0:)
