Logitech G Announces Support for Personalised Spatial Audio from Embody

Innovative, AI-driven Spatial Audio Solution Gives Logitech G Gamers An Unparalleled Gameplay Advantage

Logitech G, a brand of Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI), and Embody, a personalised spatial audio company, announced the immediate availability of Immerse™ for over a dozen Logitech G gaming headsets. ImmerseTM is a new audio technology platform, that when combined with a Logitech G headset, delivers a superior in-game sound experience. A free 14-day trial is available for download today from the Embody website.

“Our goal is to provide gamers with unparalleled technology and innovation so they can be at their best at all times” said Tiffany Beers, head of gaming innovation and audio engineering at Logitech G. “Combining a Logitech G headset with the unique Immerse™ audio technology, gets you as close to being in the game as possible. Our Pro-G driver faithfully reproduces the in-game sound and Embody customises the Logitech G hardware to sound perfect for your ears.”

ImmerseTM uses machine learning algorithms and data science to create a model of your auditory system from a picture of your ear taken with a mobile phone in less than 60 seconds. With this model of your unique hearing anatomy, Immerse™ places location-specific sound around you, with stunning accuracy. It delivers Personalised Spatial Audio and virtually transports you in the game so you hear the precise location of your enemies or where your friends are hiding before they hear you.

“The challenge of giving spatial awareness of sound using headsets has persisted for decades. The folds and shape of the outer ear are unique to each individual and change the way we hear the sounds around us. Hence the need for a Personalised Spatial Audio solution,” said Kapil Jain, CEO of Embody. “With ImmerseTM, it is sound crafted for you, not for the masses. We’re excited to work with Logitech G to bring this innovative technology to their gaming headset users worldwide.”
