OEM Licensing
Our headphone-free 3D audio technology is integrated into other products by licensing to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
Manufacturers of A/V products will have the opportunity to integrate Noveto’s audio drivers. Noveto's technology could be used in speakers, visual displays, sound bars, or any display that could benefit from a personal 3D audio messaging that offers a highly reduced noise pollution to others.

Software
Software development kit (SDK) and cloud API for customer applications
Noveto Chipset
New generation of control algorithms on one chip to control ultrasonic transducers*
Generate the Ultrasounds
Array of ultrasonic transducers
3D Smart Sensor
Utilizes 3D camera(s) and AI software to analyze images and locate users and their ears
*transducer: a device that converts variations in a physical quantity, such as pressure, into an electrical signal, or vice versa.
The Reference Design
Noveto has developed a reference design of its 3D audio technology that will be made available to its partners.
The N1 is a hardware desktop device that implements i3DS™ hardware and software audio components. The N1 comes with documentation and engineering support to help understand and integrate into OEM’s products and how to customise it.
The N1 will also be made available for white labeling.

Binaural Audio
Two pockets of sound are beamformed outside the ears. This creates a first of its kind audio experience.
Built-in Intelligence
With built-in face, gesture and sound recognition, our AI technology enables a very natural and intuitive multimodal interaction. This could be a cornerstone for the new generation of smart home apps and services.
No headphones
Natural immersive 3D audio experience using a single desktop device without the need for headphones. Truly a new way of listening.
Private Audio
Smart beaming will focus audio on you while others around you only hear a whisper.
