Auracast is a new capability from Bluetooth technology. It enables high-quality, low-latency audio to be transmitted to an unlimited number of compatible devices, unlocking a revolutionary listening experience for all attendees at sports and entertainment venues, not just those with hearing loss. Whether it’s clearer play-by-play commentary, multilingual broadcasts, or audio-described content for visually impaired fans, Auracast opens a world of possibilities. How to Make Venues Auracast Enabled Consumer devices featuring Auracast technology are available, and more are being announced. Auracast is quickly becoming a new standard feature in hearing aids, smartphones, earbuds, and headphones, enabling these devices to receive broadcasts from Auracast transmitters. Kaumans will outline how venues can leverage Auracast technology to connect with fans and future-proof stadiums and arenas as adoption of Auracast-compatible devices increases. He will demonstrate Auri in-room during the presentation and at Booth #12 during the conference. Listen Technologies and its strategic partner, Ampetronic, developed Auri so venues and guests can benefit from this technology now. “From enhancing assistive listening to enriching the in-venue audio experience for the masses, this session will demonstrate how Auracast broadcast audio is transforming sports and entertainment, and why accessibility is the new frontier of premium fan engagement,” said Sabin.
