This 22-minute conference talk from ADC (Audio Developer Conference) 2024 explores how synchronizing audio with the cognitive reading process creates an immersive reading experience. Discover how eye-tracking technology, sophisticated algorithms, and real-time audio processing determine optimal timing for soundscapes that synchronize with readers' imagination. Follow the journey of inventing a specialized digital audio workstation (DAW) designed specifically for reading experiences, allowing audio to be triggered dynamically based on reading pace. Learn about the challenges in audio production for non-linear reading experiences and how well-timed audio cues can reduce gaze duration by 63%, enhancing both speed and comprehension. The presentation includes a live demonstration and discussion of future possibilities using machine learning to generate adaptive soundscapes, with potential applications for e-books, journalism, and beyond. Presented by Luigi Cosi, founder and CEO of OIKLA, who specializes in creating innovative audio technology that balances immersive sound with hearing safety.
