- It will be the first product on the market to use Artificial Intelligence to create virtual scenarios with REAL, self-controlled three-dimensional sound.
March 27, 2024.- Catalan inventor Luis Vila leads an interdisciplinary team of musicians, programmers, and sound engineers who will make the Real8D – AI.Audio prototype a reality. The campaign will be launched the second week of march and will use the famous Indiegogo platform, recognized for the successful technological projects it has promoted. Interested collaborators will be able to access the platform starting April 1st and will be the first to obtain and test the prototype.
Real8D – AI.Audio, audio editor/player in real eight dimensions, is an intelligent program prepared to assume the basic behaviors of sounds in any scenario, virtualize the sound and reproduce it identically in any other space without the need for headphones. Audio with real volume and movement, an unprecedented listening experience.
We are talking about a composition for 8 independent channels that would include, in addition to harmony, directionality, and depth. Automating the composition process will reduce costs and speed up the process of each sound project without sacrificing quality, quite the opposite. The future of sound virtualization.
Although Real8D – AI.Audio in its beta versions has been tested with musical pieces, its application is not limited to music. It can bring auditory stimulation to fields as varied as cinema, theater, audiobooks, video games, 3D simulations and the metaverse. And its greatest strength is that it does not depend on the physical space where it is broadcast: large or small places, types of walls or auditory obstacles. It is capable of creating ideal playback conditions adapted to the room where the listener is located.
“We can affirm that Real8D – AI.Audio will be an intuitive, practical and functional program with multiple applications that will make work easier for any user. We seek to create a revolution that is accessible to all types of audiences and that can benefit such specific fields as medicine and auditory stimulation,” said Vila.
Although it sounds complex, the product has been designed for all types of audiences. Its AI (artificial intelligence)-based program is capable of learning and predicting future actions, making sound composition easier and more economical without compromising quality.
The Power of Artificial Intelligence
At the core of Real 8D is the power of AI. It uses supervised learning Artificial Neural Network algorithms, which use predictive models based on training data. This system adjusts and trains until the desired goal is reached, similar to the model used in autonomous vehicle driving, but in this case, the “vehicle” is the sound.
“We have developed software that dramatically reduces human labor hours and accurately reproduces 3D sound movements. The best of all is that we do not limit the user to using headphones to enjoy the playback of the tracks created”, highlights the inventor.
Real8D – AI.Audio, The Only Possible Way
“Achieving all these variables in a single audio represents a monumental challenge and consumes considerable time and effort. Many alternatives on the market offer only an “emulation” of three-dimensional sound, adding motion and directionality effects to simulate volume, but ignoring other essential variables. Our team has invented and patented a three-dimensional sound recorder, editor, and player that allows it IN THE ONLY POSSIBLE WAY” concludes Vila.
