In this episode of the Immersive Audio Podcast, Oliver Kadel is joined by the Senior Product Manager and Experience Engineer – Matt Neutra from Massachusetts, US.

Matt creates unique prototype experiences that are used as the stepping stones for production-ready experiences for retail and beyond. Since 2005 he has been responsible for product demonstrations that make their way to retail locations around the world. Matt’s primary responsibilities include the oversight and development of the diverse tools and workflows used to create world-class sensory experiences. Matt scours the earth for the tools that will enable the impossible. When the tools don’t exist, they have to be created. Matt often has to manage external vendors to define and develop these new tools. Matt’s goal in life is to never be the smartest person in the room, question everything in the pursuit of deeper understanding and get work done with joy and enthusiasm. Featuring on our podcast for the second time,

Matt talks about his most recent venture at BrighSign and we explore the state of play for spatial audio in the current consumer market covering digital services and hardware wearables.

This episode was produced by Oliver Kadel and Emma Rees and included music by Rhythm Scott.
