Panasonic Avionics Corporation, a leader in in-flight entertainment and connectivity systems, has partnered with HEAR360 Inc., a provider of advanced audio solutions, to bring Spatial Audio technology to airline passengers. The technology delivers a 3D theatrical surround sound experience, making all in-flight entertainment content, whether live or on demand, including movies, music, live television, sporting events, and games, more immersive.
The Spatial Audio technology is compatible with any wired or Bluetooth wireless headphones or earbuds, and will be a standard feature with Panasonic Avionics’ new Astrova IFE solution, enhancing the cinema-grade experience it delivers. The technology is also content and device agnostic, meaning that airlines will not need to change their media procurement processes or deliverables, ensuring no increase in media spend.
