C Matter patented technology provides users of ordinary handsets, tablets, and workstations with a robust three-dimensional audial environment where voices and other sounds are perceived indistinguishably from sounds occurring in the listener’s physical environment. The sound may be overlaid for augmented reality applications, substituted to provide audial telepresence, or signals (such as a voice) may be isolated to provide full-duplex realistic face-to-face telephone calls over IP or any telephone network. Multi-party calls provide realistic and efficient spatiality to conference calling. Listeners may move the sound localization points and interact with them.
Users of our technology can cause a voice to fly around or above a listener, or sit bedside them in the passenger seat. In VR the sound may be assigned to emanate from the virtual person. We want to provide this next-generation of realism between people, electronic devices, voice assistants, software applications, and natural language interfaces.
C Matter and its licensees are engaged in bringing this technology to smartphone telecommunications, VR & AR, entertainment, education, training and simulation, tools and services for security, medicine, disabled persons, recording industries, artificial intelligence, and natural language interfaces.
