Metadata-Assisted Spatial Audio with objects in an industrial environment

Imagine a remote maintenance team working on your industrial site. As they make their rounds, you hear what each team member hears—like stepping into their soundscape.

This is made possible by the new MASA (Metadata-Assisted Spatial Audio) format. It preserves essential spatial metadata—the exact position, movement, and characteristics of each sound source. OMASA (Objects with MASA) combines audio-object coding with MASA’s spatial metadata. Learn how OMASA works.

Now take control: choose to listen to the full 3D scene, isolate individual mono audio objects (e.g., speech), or background only.

For the best experience, use headphones. This demo was captured on an ordinary mobile device.
