Harman’s development tool enhances vehicles’ in-cabin experience
To support innovation in vehicles’ in-cabin experiences, Harman’s AudioworX is an open-framework unified audio platform that enables rapid design using either Harman’s software or proprietary tools. Using the platform, vehicle manufacturers can differentiate brands yet also quickly adapt to the latest consumer preferences.
It is built on Harman’s acoustic, signal processing to provide personalised in-vehicle audio and entertainment in entry level to luxury vehicles, with Individual Sound Zones (ISZ), virtual venues, Clari-Fi and quantum logic immersion (QLI).
AudioworX has combined with networking, software comms and cloud computing technology company, NTT and collaborated to customise its beam forming, echo cancellation and other communications technologies to create personalised in-cabin communication and noise management solutions.
“NTT brings a level of telecommunications expertise and experience that, when combined with the power and flexibility of the AudioworX platform, helps to unlock an elevated environment for in-car communication,” said Chris Ludwig, vice president, EPIC experience team, Harman Lifestyle Automotive.
Harman AudioworX is available now to OEMs and software developers.
Harman designs and engineers connected products for automotive makers, consumers, and enterprises worldwide including connected car systems, audio and visual products, enterprise automation solutions and services supporting the IoT.
