NOUS Sonic - immersive & 3D

The Story

Imagine your visitors putting on headphones and immersing themselves in a captivating world of sounds and stories that change with their movements. NOUS Sonic offers this immersive experience: the all-in-one headphones accurately track position within 10 centimeters and play customized content that goes beyond simple object descriptions. Visitors experience three-dimensional, audio-drama-like presentations. Steps behind them, conversations in the distance -

the sounds come alive, drawing them deeper into the exhibition. Through technological advancements, we make exhibitions accessible through all senses. NOUS Sonic transforms the conventional audio guide: objects speak for themselves, allowing for uninterrupted, hands-free exploration. In this way, sound becomes the central element of the exhibition design, opening up fascinating journeys through space and time.

What it is

NOUS Sonic is an interactive audio system that allows users to control digital sounds through movement in space. Unlike traditional audio guides, this system offers a unique and interactive sound experience. It creates three-dimensional audio and multimedia experiences by generating and positioning live audio exhibits in real time.

Localization

As visitors move around the space or turn their heads, sounds are triggered or stopped accordingly. Pitch, volume, and the angle of sound sources dynamically adjust to the user's movements and orientation. This system enhances the function of the human ear through precise localization in space, creating an impressive and immersive experience.

The Configurator App

After the antennas are installed, a 3D model of the space is uploaded to the Configurator App to edit the CMS content. The NOUS Conductor, our web-based content management system, supports media guides, interactive stations, and much more. It offers useful modules such as Google Maps integration and video time-code synchronization. With the Configurator App on iOS devices, adjustments can be made on-site in real-time, allowing for the creation and testing of various layouts and tours for the same space.

The Headphone System

The NOUS Sonic headphones are the heart of every project. They not only provide excellent sound quality but also enable precise indoor positioning. The lightweight and flexible sensor module can be adapted to different headphones. Thanks to a highly accurate orientation sensor, commonly used in robotics, visitors can experience sounds in real-time that change dynamically based on their position and orientation relative to objects in the space. This technology creates an impressive immersive experience.

Content

Content is the heart of every NOUS Sonic project. It comprises various audio layers—from voices and ambient sounds to composed music and interactive stories. Each exhibition requires tailored content that promotes interaction with the exhibits or creates its own interactive dimension. Whether from an immersive or educational perspective, a partner for content creation is essential. We collaborate with local partners such as sound designers, composers, and audio guide experts to creatively harness the potential of our tool.
