CEO Nokia’s Pekka Lundmark made the phone call using a new technology called “immersive audio and video.” According to the company, new call technologies improve call quality by adding a three-dimensional effect for a more realistic listening experience. The demonstration call was made by Stefan Lindström, Finland’s ambassador for digitalization and new technologies.

Nokia expects 3D calling technology to be the new standard

Nokia’s expects new 3D search methods to become standard soon. Therefore, they encouraged network providers, chipset manufacturers and phone manufacturers to work on the latest technologies and implement “immersion” in their products.

The aim of this new development is similar to the Google Starline project. But Nokia’s immersive search technology is less demanding than Google’s. The CEO effectively demonstrated the future of voice search. He was also reportedly present during the demonstration of the 2G call.

Both the technology behind the challenges and the end result remained the same for a long time. In the call, when the technology was first developed, strong compression was used to reduce the file size required for transmission. Although high quality multi-channel audio transmission is possible with the existing infrastructure, we still use a mono system. That’s why Nokia’s 3D voice search system makes a significant contribution to calling technology.

One of the advantages of this new search method is that it does not require special audio devices to experience the 3D effect. It is reported that only a stereo microphone installation is needed to create the immersive effect found in almost all recent smartphones.

If you’re still considering transferring, the call was displayed on a regular 5G-enabled smartphone. In the image above, you’ll see CEO Pekka Lundmark holding a Pixel device. It has been reported that the new immersion effect can be applied to conference calls as well as personal conversation. Nokia’s plans to license the new technology and make it available to the public within a few years.
