Expanding on a series of webinars to explore automotive audio design and applications, the Audio Product Education Institute (APEI) presents a session focused on Immersive Audio, exploring the different ways to translate actual immersive audio content and generate immersive experiences. To detail these topics and discuss the available technologies and solutions, Roger Shively, invited Mathias Johansson, the Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of Dirac Research, and Andreas Ehret, Director, Automotive at Dolby.

To detail these topics and discuss the available technologies and solutions, Roger Shively, invited two key industry vendors, leading the space from different perspectives.

Mathias Johansson, the Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of Dirac Research, will discuss the nature of immersive content and the desired immersive experience and how to tune a car accordingly. Mathias will also cover other uses of immersive audio such as unconventional speaker layouts or Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS).

Andreas Ehret, Director, Automotive at Dolby, will discuss how Dolby Atmos extracts the spatial objects from music and reproduces them to reveal details that provide great spatial clarity and depth, and how that is applied to automotive audio.
