Miris has announced a $26 million seed funding round led by IAG Capital Partners to bring spatial audio computing into the streaming era. Here’s the latest.
Miris’ patented technology enables full, real-time streaming of dynamic, high fidelity spatial content without downloads. It solves a massive problem for today’s spatial computing creators, distributors, and consumers.
“The biggest tech and entertainment companies in the world are spending billions to grow the spatial computing market, Marlin Prager, Miris CEO & Co-Founder tells Digital Music News. “Miris delivers the only compute solution to unblock spatial content’s delivery bottleneck and allow for consumer-facing spatial streaming—without sacrificing quality or experience.”
Miris has developed and patented key streaming technologies, leading to the first content delivery network (CDN) enabling spatial content. With Miris, consumers will enjoy dynamic streaming of spatial content anywhere, anytime, without downloads or storage as a factor. It allows consumption of spatial audio content to mirror the ease we have of consuming music, movies, and TV content today.
“The success of Netflix, TikTok, Spotify, and YouTube have shown that streaming is the preferred way to consume content,” says Joel Whitley, partner at IAG Capital Partners. “We believe that spatial computing will not see widespread adoption unless and until high fidelity, interactive spatial content can be delivered to consumers for easy consumption through streaming.”
“Miris and its team have solved this key problem with an elegant solution delivering spatial content at scale,” Whitley continues. “This will enable the ‘pull-through’ for both spatial content and devices the market has been waiting for. Miris is the key to unlock spatial computing.”
Miris says it is led by a visionary management and technical team with decades of combined experience across entertainment & technology. The executive team has contributed to dozens of Hollywood films, video games, and large enterprise technology companies. From entertainment to healthcare to myriad business applications, Miris is working with spatial computing developers to stream a new generation of high-fidelity spatial content globally.
