Unfortunately, due to some setbacks since that time (especially COVID complications) we haven&#8217;t had much to share in the way of updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is, until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re thrilled to announce that we have received a patent allowance for the foundational technology of Project IRL and will be releasing more details about this technology before long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Truth be told, some of the most widely-adopted audio technologies, including Dolby Digital* and DTS*, are mere simulations of a live listening experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>With the introduction of Project IRL, the simulation is obsolete.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have plans to develop this into a complete ecosystem consisting of recordings, playback configurations, and more.
