Being able to perceive parts of the sound that we are hearing from various angles (in addition to redirecting that sound so that it changes if we turn our head) is the main advantage of the spatial audio that we can have on Apple Music and Netflix. Today that kind of audio take a step plus landing at Clubhouse, the audio social network.
The function makes a lot of sense in Clubhouse, since thanks to the spatial audio we can “locate” each member of a meeting. Well distributed, the effect of closing your eyes and perceiving that you are in a meeting room with each speaker speaking from their own place in that room is achieved.
An ace up your sleeve to continue standing out among your rivals
The service has already confirmed that spatial audio It will deactivate when we are the ones talking, in order to avoid confusion. At the moment this audio will be available on iOS, and it has already been confirmed that they aim to launch it on Android as well. Naturally you will need quality headphones to perceive that spatial audio well.
Clubhouse wins like this a small advantage against huge competition with which it has to fight. Facebook, Telegram, Twitter and even Spotify already include the same concept of audio room in their profiles, something that is suspected has caused a decrease in the audience in Clubhouse. A matter of being attentive to its evolution to see how it can continue to differentiate itself from the rest of social networks.
