Boulogne-Billancourt, October 5, 2018 – Groupe #Renault and #newfund have announced their investment in the startup #akousticarts, specialized in directional sound, in order to accelerate its growth and enable it to pursue the wide-scale development of its products.
This investment goes with an agreement between Groupe #Renault and the young company to carry out a shared development project focused on adapting the #akousticarts technology for #Renault vehicles.
Akoustic Arts, created in 2010, has developed a unique, patented ultra-directional sound technology. The content is projected through the air, creating a private bubble of sound that only the target user hears. In this way, the technology can provide several distinct immersive experiences for different people at the same time.
As part of this collaboration, #Renault engineers will share their #automotive expertise as well as their suppliers and industrial tools, while #akousticarts experts will provide their technology and savoir-faire in directional sound. After an initial R&D phase, the project will focus on the development of on-board directional speakers for the brand models. Products aimed at the post-sales network will also be considered.Further information in the press release to download
