Multi-Zone Player
One cabin, four experiences. The driver is taking a call, one passenger is playing music, another is watching a film, a fourth is sleeping — no headphones, and everyone has their own sound zone
Use case
Inside the Cabin
Focused audioReal-time spatial filtering delivers seat-specific sound with minimal bleed between zones
Software onlyRuns on the GPU already installed in the vehicle. No new components, no speaker redesign – no extra cost
Universal and scalableAcross all car models, compatible with all cabin architectures
~2% GPU loadOf the vehicle's existing onboard GPU compute, measured on a Qualcomm SA8295

How it works
Keeping Sound in Its Seat
01AcquireAcoustic data captured in the target cabin
02Model the CabinHow sound travels in that specific vehicle
03Compute Zone FiltersCompensation calculated for every zone
04RunReal-time processing and superposition on the onboard GPU
Suppression is deliberately non-uniform — it peaks in the mid frequencies, where speech lives, and at the centre of each listening zone, where heads actually are.
