Innovation: 3D Audio at Fraunhofer IDMT

It was an honor for us to create a 3D audio trailer for the renowned Fraunhofer Institute in Ilmenau, Germany , showcasing a groundbreaking new audio technology. This " Spatial Sound Wave " technology generates immersive 3D audio that has the potential to fundamentally change the way how we perceive sound.

Josua Hagedorn worked part-time at Fraunhofer IDMT and is dedicated to the research and development of 3D audio technologies.

Concept development

We developed an audio concept focused on demonstrating the versatility and power of this technology through various use cases. Each soundscape we reproduced was carefully crafted to emphasize the spatial depth and realistic rendering of 3D audio.

Challenges

The challenge was to portray the complexity and innovation of the technology in a way that was both technically sound and accessible to a broad audience. We worked closely with the Fraunhofer Institute to ensure that every scene and every sound perfectly conveyed the core messages of the new technology.

The versatility of 3D audio technology makes it possible to experience a wide variety of scenarios in unprecedented sound quality – whether in a concert hall, a cinema or in the car.

The final product

We're especially proud that the finished 3D audio contribution will be presented as a demo for the Fraunhofer Institute in large auditoriums and concert halls. These demonstrations impressively demonstrate how 3D audio fills the space and immerses the audience in an immersive sound world.

Outlook

It has been an exciting journey to bring this cutting-edge technology to a wider audience and take the possibilities of 3D audio to a new level.

We look forward to working with the Fraunhofer Institute on further projects in the future and continuing to push the boundaries of what is possible in the field of sound.
