This new version includes a voice chat function that supports spatial audio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CRI Middleware is a company that mainly develops audio and video technology. In the game industry, it is well-known for its middleware products, and the CRIWARE logo is likely a familiar sight to many gamers. CRI TeleXus is new middleware for online communication that focuses on high functionality voice chat. The purpose of the product is to invigorate communication within a virtual space and contribute to revenue growth by encouraging community expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notable features include voice chat with a low data transmission rate of 10Kbps and support for large-scale simultaneous conversations between around 100 people. An early access version of the middleware was first offered to businesses in May.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220819-215302-001.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220819-215302-001.png 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220819-215302-001-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220819-215302-001-380x214.png 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220819-215302-001-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220819-215302-001-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220819-215302-001-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220819-215302-001-696x392.png 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220819-215302-001-1068x601.png 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220819-215302-001-747x420.png 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The official release adds the new spatial audio voice chat function, which allows you to experience the sensation of being spoken to in a 3D space, even when using regular headphones. In conversations with multiple people, each voice is differentiated effectively, which makes it possible to hear everything clearly. CRI Middleware adds that by creating the feeling of a realistic conversation within a virtual space, such as a metaverse or open world game, it can help improve the immersion and user experience of digital content. CRI TeleXus is also compatible with the company\u2019s own CRI ADX sound middleware, making it easy to process voice data or adjust volume balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spatial audio chat function featured in CRI TeleXus is a system that makes use of HRTF (Head Related Transfer Function). A major benefit of the system is that it does not require any special equipment and is effective even with regular stereo headphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a number of games that include 3D audio options which employ HRTF to make it easier for players to determine a sound\u2019s location and distance. Some examples are <em>Valorant<\/em> and <em>PUBG: Battlegrounds<\/em>. The downside to 3D audio systems that use HRTF is that there tend to be differences in the hearing of each individual. It will be interesting to see how good CRI TeleXus is at creating 3D sound and whether it will truly allow for discernable conversations between a large number of people.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1070\" height=\"350\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1070px) 100vw, 1070px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220819-215302-002.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15154\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220819-215302-002.png 1070w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220819-215302-002-600x196.png 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220819-215302-002-380x124.png 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220819-215302-002-768x251.png 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220819-215302-002-150x49.png 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220819-215302-002-300x98.png 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220819-215302-002-696x228.png 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220819-215302-002-1068x350.png 1068w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>CRI Middleware also released a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cri-mw.co.jp\/news\/newsrelease\/7392\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">roadmap<\/a> for future updates to CRI TeleXus.
