The Audio industries have been in a perpetual state of technological revolution since their inception, making for a volatile, interesting and fast paced environment that have left many and much trailing in its dust. With the current exploration of Games, Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality, Artificial Intelligence continuing full-steam-ahead, how do we fit in this new world, and how important can we make audio? Our 5 speakers have 8 minutes to explore what exists in the future for Audio (or the future of listening).
The microtalk panel format is a panel of 5 speakers, each speaking for exactly 8 minutes, with 24 slides auto-advancing every 20 seconds. This session is designed to explore the space around important audio industry topics, speakers aim to provoke and challenge standards of topic, thought and presentation.
