Portal 9To5Mac released the news on September 18th. Only the AirPod Pro and Max had the spatial audio tool active. With the integration of Netflix, an augmented reality experience is expected in movies and series.
Users report that the use of spatial audio increases immersion within the platform. Audio visual productions with Dolby Atmos will benefit greatly from the novelty. In other words, the option promises to bring cinema audio into your home, or wherever you are.
By the way, with the arrival of iOS 15, devices will be able to simulate spatial audio. This happens even if the original videos and audios don't have Dolby Atmos.
Filter adjusts frequency to add ambience
The function is applied using directional audio filters. It adjusts the frequency that each ear receives and manages to give a sense of ambiance. The user now has an audio “depth” experience. For example, if an object lands closer to the camera in the scene, the audio is louder. Or even if something moves from right to left, the sound follows the direction of movement. These are just a few very simple examples to illustrate verbatim what happens.
Apple devices are equipped with gyroscopes and accelerometers. According to the company, these are the devices that allow audio improvement. Thus, the cell phone or iPad manages to cross the movement of your head with those of the device.
If you want to configure spatial audio options, just access the device's Control Center. It is worth remembering that the change from Netflix is being distributed gradually. That is, it is possible that your application is still up to date. In this case, you need to be patient.
