OUR STORY
AudioDimension
The AudioDimension team is deeply passionate about technology innovation to improve lives. Experts in audio and Digital Signal Processing, we have many years of research experience in mathematics, audio algorithms and spatial sound.
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 adding Manelli Hosseini to grow the company, while retaining its technology-for-good focus by expanding spatial audio navigation toward broader everyday use.
