Atmoky Engage

Engage integrates spatial audio into voice communication applications, aimed at improving human interaction in tools like video conferencing by making speech more intelligible, clearer and better allocated between speakers. It combines spatialised real-time voice with ambience sounds, reverb and room acoustics, drawing on the cocktail party effect — the brain's natural ability to focus on one voice among several when sounds arrive from distinct directions — to boost comprehensibility and attentiveness in group calls. It's offered as a Communication-Platform-as-a-Service with a JavaScript SDK for web integration, and has already been used by platforms such as Arrival.Space to add spatial voice chat to their 3D web environments.

history

+

Engage comes from atmoky, a Graz-based spatial audio company founded in 2020 by Markus Zaunschirm, Daniel Rudrich, Clemens Amon and Christian Schörkhuber. Before starting the company, the four had spent years developing the free, open-source IEM Plug-in Suite at the Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics at Graz's University of Music and Performing Arts, and atmoky itself grew directly out of that research as a spin-off from the Graz universities. The company was incubated at Science Park Graz and has since drawn on funding from Austria's aws promotional bank, the Austrian Research Promotion Agency, the Styrian Business Promotion Agency, and the EU's Horizon Europe programme through the MUSMET project. Engage now sits alongside atmoky's other products, including the game-audio focused trueSpatial engine, as part of a broader push to bring genuinely three-dimensional sound to everyday digital communication.
