Spatial Redefines Real-Time Immersive and Interactive Audio Experiences
Spatial, immersive audio experience company, unveils a simple to install and use product line and service providing compelling, dynamic soundscapes in all of the places we work, play and stay.
“We've been crafting an integrated software platform including a real-time interactive engine, 3D creative tools, an intuitive control app and service,” said Michael Plitkins, Spatial’s Co- founder and Co-der. "The lack of approachable tools, complexity due to non-integrated solutions, cost and effort required has prevented immersive, interactive audio from being a must have component of experiences.”
Spatial Reality engine is built on an object-driven platform that renders realistic, believable soundscapes in real-time, with natural physics and complex object behaviors that allow for 24:7 dynamic experiences. With comprehensive and immediate support for both inputs and outputs, Spatial experiences can react to anything in real time, from sensors and computer vision systems in the space to data feeds and live audio streams. The same holds true for outputs, with the action in a Spatial experience driving lighting, control systems or whatever you can imagine for a completely immersive engagement.
Spatial scenes are flexible and scale and adapt to each location. From a small space with a handful of speakers to theme park scale with thousands, Spatial is designed with flexibility which allows for indoor and outdoor installations that are unrestricted by traditional channel- based audio. Spatial Reality runs on inexpensive high performance macOS and Linux computers and works with industry standard audio hardware. The Spatial applications and services are crafted to combine the simplicity and ease-of-use necessary for widespread adoption that experiential designers demand.
Spatial Studio is a powerful creation environment with detailed control of fully visualized experiential scenes. Creators can see the whole scene take place on the 3D canvas and fine tune object position, size, motion and behaviors while listening to real-time preview. Scaling controls and adaptive physics for position, speed and distance give designers the confidence the scene will be incredible in any space. A few quick clicks publishes the scene to the Spatial service.
Spatial Control runs on iOS device, for real-time control of and interaction with all of your spaces. User-friendly scene and space controls are woven in with detailed user roles and permissions, providing the access and management expected of a business-critical service experience. Spatial Control also provides tools for easy setup, tuning and customization of your spaces, using the portability and power of the mobile device to get everything just right without ever leaving the space.
The Spatial service runs in the cloud and communicates with the platform for administration and content updates.
Enabling Creators from Hobbyists to Professional Experience Designers
Spatial allows creators to build the best haunted house experience on their block or an estate scale theme park for your family and friends to enjoy. Commercial quality tools are now accessible to anyone. On the other end of the creative spectrum, professionally designed projects from corporate, retail, theme parks, museums, hotels, estate entertainment and more are now possible and manageable whether this is your first immersive experience in one location or a set of highly orchestrated experiences in thousands of locations.
“I’m excited about what Spatial brings to the world as immersive audio has long been overlooked and never a true peer in experience design,” said Wilhelm Oehl, Partner and Principal, Eight Inc. and co-designer of the Apple Retail experience. “It’s not just the installation and expense that have left sound out of the picture, but equally important is the ability to create amazing immersive content and use it in wildly different locations.”
