The biggest Japanese mobile operator company, NTT DoCoMo announced the development of new and more efficient technologies of spatial audio for mobile devices. This technology should help to improve the devices that are specific to the mobile conferences, online computer games and educational television.

According to NTT DoCoMo, the new technology allows, for example, clearly hear each party’s debates during the conference as if their voices come from different directions, thereby creating a comfortable virtual environment to communicate. Unlike other similar technologies, where the processes of coding/decoding and synthesis of spatial sound occur independently of each other, an innovation proposed by NTT DoCoMo, allows to combine these functions into a single whole. Thus, for the transmission of the alarm requires minimal bandwidth, which makes the transmitted audio content suitable for listening on devices with limited hardware resources, such as cellular phones.

Representatives of NTT DoCoMo announced that the company intends to demonstrate its technology for spatial audio during an international exhibition of wireless technologies, Wireless Technology Park 2009, which will be held from 12 to 13 May in Yokohama, Japan. To demonstrate DoCoMo has selected DoCoMo Pro HT-01A phone, it is essentially a Japanese version of the famous communicator, HTC Touch Pro.
