Logitech announced a new product – the “Immerse” application for headphones, which will adapt their sound to the biological characteristics of the ears of a particular user.
This is not about a general improvement in sound, but about highlighting key signals in computer games. For example, so that a gamer can accurately calculate the distance to a group of enemies and their number only from the sounds of steps.
The application was developed by Embody, which specializes in spatial sound solutions. The program is based on artificial intelligence, which needs to literally show your ear – take a photo using your smartphone and send it for analysis. The AI will study the structure of your auricle and draw up an ear map to calculate how a particular user will perceive different sounds.
Since data processing is carried out remotely, the service is not free – the cost of a subscription is $ 3 per month. You will also need a headset with service support, for example, Logitech G433. This brand acts as the conductor of Immerse to the market, and has already taken care of adapting a wide range of its products for it, including G Pro X and Pro, as well as Logitech G533 – the “headset of dreams” for PCs following the results of 2017. However, Embody is not limited to cooperation with Logitech – the developers have already announced support for Beyerdynamic products. Probably, in the future, the service will be available for other manufacturers of headphones.
