Collaboration - What does it mean to meet at your office?At the heart of most successful collaborations is real-time interaction between people. Most of us, who didn't attend too many rock concerts, have this unique ability to follow a conversation in a crowded room naturally. In this new world of video communications, many online audio experiences fall short, making collaboration a challenge. Dolby.io's Communication APIs provide a solution for improving intelligibility with Spatial Audio. "We strive to close the gap between the experience of face-to-face and online communications. Bringing years of research in human perception to bear on the human experience of the connection while physically separated is at the heart of what we do." At a recent technical conference, Chief Architect Paul Boustead provided insights from the research in voice communications on how spatial rendering can improve the intelligibility of video conferencing. Our advanced Spatial Audio features enable us to understand one another better even when users talk over each other. With spatial audio, overlapping voices are separated to make conversations sound natural — resulting in increased user productivity and reduced fatigue. |

They’re a great way to educate students no matter where they are located and helping them learn at their own pace. Keeping students engaged during virtual classes, however, is not an easy task.
