IDUN audio Granted US Patent for Dynamic Spatial Audio Technology

IDUN audio announced that it has been granted a key US patent for its cutting-edge technology enabling real-time, dynamic spatial audio through time-varying HRTFs. The patent, US2023-0403528 A1, listing Pauli Minnaar as the inventor on behalf of the Danish spatial audio company, is an important milestone that further validates its longstanding efforts. The technology at the core of IDUN audio's advanced spatial audio engine for personal audio devices has been embedded on leading platforms and chipsets from Qualcomm, Airoha, or BES Technic.

7 Sensing Software, an embedded software development company active in audio processing and machine learning targeting wearable and hearable applications, announced that it joined the Qualcomm Extension Program. With this confirmation, 7 Sensing Software is now able to offer its Hearing Augmentation and Pure Voice solutions for wireless earbuds and headsets running on the ultra low power, premium-tier Qualcomm QCC5100 Bluetooth SoC family.

In the wake of the acquisition of the Hillcrest Laboratories (Hillcrest Labs) business from InterDigital in mid-2019, CEVA now introduced the Hillcrest Labs MotionEngine Hear, a sensor and processor agnostic embedded software solution for hearable devices. The new solution allows SoC vendors, OEMs and ODMs to take advantage of a configurable sensor fusion platform to add intuitive user interface, gesture control, activity tracking and spatial audio capabilities to hearable devices.
