Nokia CEO Pekka Lundmark demonstrates the future of voice calls with “immersive audio and video” technology, offering a three-dimensional sound experience.
Nokia’s CEO, Pekka Lundmark, showcased the future of voice calls with a groundbreaking demonstration of “immersive audio and video” technology. This innovation aims to enhance call quality with three-dimensional sound, creating a lifelike interaction experience.
Lundmark highlighted that the new technology represents a significant advancement from current monophonic smartphone calls, offering callers a 3D audio experience akin to being present with the other person. This pioneering call with Finland’s Ambassador of Digitalisation and New Technologies, Stefan Lindström, signals a step towards standardization of immersive calling features for network, chipset, and handset manufacturers.
Nokia conducted the call using a regular smartphone on a public 5G network, showcasing the potential for widespread adoption in the near future.
Additionally, the technology has applications beyond person-to-person calls, as it can revolutionize conference calls by separating voices based on their spatial locations. With the upcoming 5G Advanced standard, Nokia plans to offer licensing opportunities for this cutting-edge technology, anticipating widespread availability in the coming years.
