Nokia has announced that its CEO, Pekka Lundmark, had a phone conversation using a new technology known as “immersive audio and video,” which enhances the quality of a call with three-dimensional sound and makes interactions more lifelike.
This development was confirmed by Jenni Lukander, President of Nokia Technologies on Monday.
The discussion with Stefan Lindstrom, Finland’s ambassador for digitalization and emerging technologies was held over the new 3GPP Immersive Voice and Audio Services codec, which will be incorporated into future 5G-Advanced standards,
Lindstrom said the technology “improves the richness and quality of the call, and the three-dimensional sound experience makes interaction more lifelike and engaging, bringing a wealth of new benefits to personal and professional communication”.
Newsng understands that users’ voice calls are transformed by immersive audio technology, which offers a more realistic and interesting engagement.
“The biggest leap forward in the live voice calling experience since the introduction of monophonic telephony audio used in smartphones and PCs today,” said Lukander, underscoring the importance of this development.
The new technology, enabled by the new IVAS codec technology, completely reimagines the calling experience, not only improving sound quality.
It guarantees that callers may hear every detail of the conversation as if they were in the same room by providing 3D audio.
This advancement, which breaks free from the constraints of monophonic sound, has the potential to completely transform the telecommunications sector.
Experts claimed that the transition from monophonic to 3D audio will greatly improve user experiences, especially in longer talks. This technology has the potential to become a key component of voice communication in the future by giving individuals a more realistic and natural method to interact.
