If there’s one thing we know when live events return after the pan­dem­ic is that sound is going to be spa­tial and immer­sive. No more left/​right. And there are many new com­pa­nies work­ing to make the cre­ation and imple­men­ta­tion of spa­tial audio a real­i­ty. Spa­tial is one of those com­pa­nies, now announc­ing an immer­sive expe­ri­ence prod­uct line as a ser­vice, to bring real­is­tic, inter­ac­tive sound­scapes to real-world spaces. And it’s a seri­ous ven­ture with major clients.

Spa­tial pro­pos­es a sim­ple to install and use prod­uct line, com­ple­ment­ed with ser­vices, to make dynam­ic immer­sive audio avail­able every­where. “We’ve been craft­ing an inte­grat­ed soft­ware plat­form includ­ing a real-time inter­ac­tive engine, 3D cre­ative tools, an intu­itive con­trol app and ser­vice,” says Michael Plitkins, Spa­tial’s Co-founder and Co-der.

Plitkins is some­one to be tak­en seri­ous. Among oth­er com­pa­nies and projects, he was a pro­gram­mer and graph­ic design­er for Netscape and Nest (the ther­mo­stat com­pa­ny that Google acquired). And he clear­ly has his atten­tion focused in audio now, more specif­i­cal­ly, the poten­tial of evolv­ing audio sound­scapes into immer­sive expe­ri­ences. “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. We can’t wait to hear the amaz­ing things cre­ative teams and audio pro­fes­sion­als build with what we have created!”
