ABOUT AUDIODIMENSION

Sound can change how we move.

We create spatial audio technology that makes navigation safer, easier and more intuitive.

Our Vision

Making getting from A to B safer, easier, and more fun.

Our Mission

To create technology that makes the world easier to navigate for everyone, with a special focus on people who are visually impaired, blind, or living with other disabilities.

Using our real-time spatial audio technology, we deliver simple, screen-free navigation and interaction solutions for walkers, joggers, cyclists, tourists and stargazers.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Research built around real-world movement.

Our R&D team specialises in 3D spatial audio, enabling our products to deliver seamless navigation and useful information through smart glasses and headphones.

By combining AI-driven customisation with accessible design, we create new tools to support visually impaired and blind people while walking and running.

OUR STORY

From RunBlind to AudioDimension.

The AudioDimension team is deeply passionate about audio and Digital Signal Processing, with many years of research experience in mathematics, audio algorithms and spatial location.

François Alouges has dedicated years to audio algorithms and spatial localisation, while Sylvain Ferrand completed doctoral research on 3D sound navigation for blind users.

Together with Philippe Le Borgne, they founded RunBlind to help visually impaired and blind people navigate using sound and music.

RunBlind later became AudioDimension, while retaining its technology-for-good focus and expanding spatial audio navigation toward broader everyday use.
