This is a brand-new solution since it began to sell car audio products in 2020, and strives to enter the market in 2022, as per a Business Wire report.

With the advent of innovative technologies such as autonomous driving and the Internet of Vehicles, the car will evolve from a driving tool to a comfortable private living space. With the development of more convenient and high-speed long-distance communication, it is implied that the experience opportunities of digital space will be further expanded together with the keyword "metaverse" in the future.

As the car gradually evolves from a mobile tool to a second home, the company develops solutions that enable a new sound experience from both entertainment and safety perspectives.

In recent years, audio and video content that supports Dolby Atmos (Dolby Atmos) and can experience panoramic effects has become popular. Unlike previous two-channel audio content, panoramic audio content incorporates rendering that actively utilizes spatial effects, allowing listeners to hear sounds from multiple directions.

Such audio effects used to be enjoyed with professional audio equipment or headphones, but in a small car space, the speaker sound reflected and resonated, and it was a difficult problem to reproduce the intention of the audio producer with high precision.

Using the technology developed by Yamaha, it is possible to reproduce the production intention of the audio producer with high precision, allowing passengers to experience the unparalleled immersion brought by the panoramic audio effect in every seat.

In addition, the solution provided in terms of safety and security functions is the HMI (Human Machine Interface) system, which can render and play the acceleration sound of the car linked to the accelerator pedal and vehicle speed in a panoramic view, as well as the information prompt sound from various sensors.

By adding spatial orientation information to the sound, it helps the driver to notice various warning reminders more clearly and provides assistance for driving.
