Problem
Traditional methods of delivering spatial audio experiences often require specialized hardware or complex software development, limiting accessibility and scalability for various applications. Creating interactive and location-aware auditory experiences in real-world environments can be technically challenging and resource-intensive.
Solution
Gatari offers a mixed reality (MR) platform that enables users to create and deploy immersive spatial audio experiences using only a smartphone, without requiring coding. The platform allows users to scan physical spaces and place virtual sensors that trigger audio events based on a user's location, orientation, and interactions. This technology facilitates interactive storytelling, location-based guidance, and enhanced accessibility for users with visual impairments. The platform supports a range of applications, from entertainment and tourism to education and accessibility solutions, by merging digital content with the physical world through auditory cues.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes businesses and organizations in the entertainment, tourism, education, and accessibility sectors seeking to create engaging and informative MR experiences, as well as developers and creators looking for a no-code platform to design spatial audio applications.
