We heard this was the way inside

New software applications are using sound to transport users to sonic spaces, bringing audio to the forefront of AR experiences — and as a gateway to the metaverse. The richness of sound can transport users to new experiences, affecting moods and behaviors. PairPlay, for example, is an iOS app that guides friends or family through imagined scenarios within their own homes, while Apple’s recent Airpods patent includes the ability for users to create illusions of a sound source somewhere in a listening environment. From sound design to audio AR, audio entrepreneurs are benefitting from increasingly sophisticated processors, sensors that track people’s movements, and devices that can deliver perfect sound.

There’s a paradigm shift to what experts are calling “earable” computing, which will change the way we individually and collectively experience and communicate in sonic spaces.
