Education and Research

HOLOPHONIX is trusted by leading universities, research centers, and conservatories worldwide as a reference tool for exploring spatial sound in both scientific and artistic fields. Its modular architecture, open protocol support, and real-time 3D rendering engine make it ideal for education, experimentation, and prototyping.

The system is used across disciplines, from electroacoustic composition and immersive media to acoustics, architecture, and cognitive science. Students and researchers engage hands-on with spatialization algorithms, multichannel workflows, reverberation models, and perceptual studies.

At ETH Zurich, HOLOPHONIX is deployed in the Immersive Design Lab (IDL), a pioneering facility for architecture and computational design. The lab features a 75-loudspeaker spatial audio system integrated into a circular arena for research, teaching, and interactive presentations. It supports cross-disciplinary experimentation in XR, AI, and auralization at the highest level.

Other users include IRCAM, CNRS (French National Centre for Scientific Research), EM Lyon Business School, Tsinghua University in China, the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (HKAPA), and the Asia Culture Center in South Korea, among many others.

From multichannel studios to flexible teaching labs, HOLOPHONIX fosters the next generation of engineers, artists, and scientists working with immersive sound.
