What We’re Bringing to Berlin
This year we’re coming with more than product demos. We want to start conversations about where audio is really headed:
Immersive and spatial sound — how three-dimensional audio is finding new immersive applications.
How you can help AudioDimension offer lower cost to the visually impaired and blind community.
Whether you’re a partner, a creator, a retailer, or simply someone who cares about how technology can improve lives for the visually impaired or blind we’d love to show you what we’ve been working on.
Let’s Meet Face to Face
IFA is at its best in the moments between the announcements — the hallway conversations, the spontaneous demos, the ideas sparked over a coffee. Those are the meetings that turn into partnerships.
So let’s make it happen. Book a slot with our team, we’re always up for talking about spatial audio.

AudioDimension, the French deep-tech company pioneering 3D spatial audio navigation, has appointed Sir Hossein Yassaie as Chairman of the Board. The appointment marks an important step as the company scales its patented technology across consumer, accessibility, and industrial applications.
AudioDimension’s platform creates dynamic spatial audio cues that guide users through physical environments in a more natural and less intrusive way than traditional voice-led or screen-based navigation. Developed initially to support visually impaired and unsighted users, the technology now has broader applications in smart glasses, hearables, tourism, sports, and immersive media.
Sir Hossein Yassaie brings extensive leadership experience from the global tech sector, including his tenure as CEO of Imagination Technologies, where he helped build a semiconductor IP business used in billions of devices worldwide. Knighted in 2016 for services to technology and innovation, he has since continued supporting deep-tech founders and scaleups across the UK and Europe.
“Our vision is to create a world where sound is a natural and seamless extension of our spatial awareness,” said Philippe Le Borgne, President of AudioDimension. “Sir Hossein’s unparalleled experience in scaling deep-tech companies and building global ecosystems is a monumental asset. His guidance will be instrumental as we accelerate our growth and bring our technology to new markets and partners.”
“What attracted me to AudioDimension is that its technology is not just innovative—it’s fundamentally a “tech for good” and has the power to enhance how people experience the world,” said Sir Hossein Yassaie. “The potential to transform navigation and entertainment, while significantly improving accessibility for those who navigate the world differently, is real and significant. I am thrilled to help guide the company on its mission.”
AudioDimension has gained further visibility through showcases at Vivatech and CES Las Vegas and is continuing to grow its patent portfolio as it develops new uses for spatial audio across accessibility and immersive technology.
About AudioDimension AudioDimension is a French deep-tech company developing patented 3D spatial audio technology for safer, easier, and more engaging navigation. Its solutions support hands-free guidance and immersive experiences across accessibility, tourism, and sports.
If you’re attending CES in Las Vegas, January 6-9, 2026 we’d be happy to connect. Don’t hesitate to request a demonstration or arrange a meeting with us. We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
AudioDimension Introduces SAND-e: The World’s First Headphones That Guide You with Music
Navigating a city, traveling, or exercising without constantly looking at a screen is now possible. AudioDimension unveiled a major breakthrough at CES 2026 in Las Vegas: SAND-e, the world’s first headphones with a built-in spatial audio navigation engine.
SAND-e allows users to reach their destination simply by following the music, thanks to a system that transforms navigation instructions into immersive and intuitive spatial sound cues.
Follow the Sound, Not the Screen
Unlike traditional navigation systems based on spoken directions or visual maps, AudioDimension’s technology creates a true “musical map.” Users are guided through their physical environment by spatialized audio cues that indicate direction and movement, keeping their eyes free and their attention on the real world.
This navigation experience is:
Safer, eliminating the need to look at a smartphone
More natural, leveraging human auditory perception
More inclusive, designed to support blind and visually impaired users
A Product Designed for Everyone
SAND-e features bone-conduction headphones, leaving the ears open to ambient sounds and improving situational awareness. Connected via Bluetooth to a smartphone or smartwatch, users can simply say phrases like “take me to the Eiffel Tower” and start walking while following music or a podcast.
Use cases include:
Tourists exploring cities hands-free
Travelers navigating airports and stations
Runners and athletes discovering new routes
Blind and visually impaired users seeking safe, independent navigation
From Accessibility to Global Innovation
AudioDimension’s technology was originally developed to support mobility for people with visual impairments. Over time, it has proven its value in complex environments such as university campuses, transportation hubs, and large public venues.
By integrating its navigation engine directly into hardware, AudioDimension takes a strategic step toward making the technology more accessible and immediately usable, while continuing discussions with earbud, smart glasses, and device manufacturers for licensing opportunities.
Availability
SAND-e headphones will be available for purchase in the second half of 2026. Prototype demos are showcased at CES 2026, Eureka Park, booth 60643.
Join us for the world’s largest consumer and home electronics show and celebrate 100 years of groundbreaking innovation. Discover the latest tech trends and get a glimpse into tomorrow’s world.
We want to innovate technologies that use 3D Spatial Processing to offer easy navigation when using headphones and smart glasses. Combined with AI customisations we are also working on solutions for walking and running guidance for visually impaired and blind users.
