Kardome and Panasonic Automotive Enhance In-Car Voice User Experience

Kardome, the innovative voice front-end technology company from Israel has partnered with Panasonic Automotive Systems of America at CES 2024 to showcase Kardome Mobility's integration into Panasonic Automotive's SkipGen2 In-Vehicle Infotainment System. Kardome's integrated Spatial Hearing technology enhances in-car voice user interfaces and the integration with Kardome Mobility is the only solution to individually capture up to six voices over three rows with a single mic array in the overhead cabin compartment.

To ensure a base level of functionality and quality of in-car communication (ICC) systems, the ITU-T International Standardization Sector has defined appropriate tests in Recommendation P.1150. German audio test and measurement solutions company HEAD acoustics has now implemented this recommendation in its ACQUA software with automated test sequences that can be applied for communication quality analysis, thus enabling comprehensive acoustic measurements of ICC systems and components.

HEAD acoustics will promote a new online presentation titled "Optimizing Listening Effort in Vehicles." This new free online seminar - October 13, 2020 - will address HEAD acoustics's vast research in both communications and automotive audio, detailing how to explore the company's listening effort evaluation tool called ABLE (Assessment of Binaural Listening Effort). This implementation allows researchers to evaluate listening efforts inside vehicles, including for telecommunication applications.
