Description: Bluetooth® technology has introduced a new standard for broadcast audio and access to audio in public spaces. Auracast™ broadcast audio has introduced new sharing experiences from personal mobile devices, enhanced listening experiences in public spaces, and new opportunities for hearing accessibility. This new technology is being introduced to new hearing aids, cochlear implants, and consumer hearing devices. Products with Auracast™ support are available today. It is currently supported in many new smartphones, tablets, and TVs, and has been introduced in commercial transmitters and receivers for public spaces. Auracast™ broadcast audio has the potential to improve the way you engage with others, and how you experience the world of audio around you. Please join this workshop with representatives from the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, GN Resound, Ampetronic, and Listen Technologies to get the latest updates on the availability of Auracast™ broadcast audio in public spaces and on the availability of Auracast™ in new devices. Representatives will discuss the Auracast™ pilot installation at this year’s HLAA conference for you to try, and other ways for you to experience Auracast™ broadcast audio, today.
