Clubhouse is rolling out new features to enhance their current product and user experience.
The social audio app announced Sunday that its rooms will now be infused with spatial audio to give the app’s listeners a richer sense of hanging out live with a group of other people.
Clubhouse head of streaming Justin Uberti said, “One of the things you realize in these group audio settings is that you don’t get quite the same experience as being in a physical space”.
According to Clubhouse, the new audio features will roll out to the majority of iOS users, reaching the rest of Clubhouse’s iOS and Android users within the next few weeks. The experience will be available to everyone in time, but users will also have the ability to toggle spatial audio off.
“Your mind has to figure out who’s talking. Without spatial cues you have to use timbre, that requires more cognitive effort. This could actually make for a more enjoyable experience aside from more immersion” Uberti said.
Its been a busiest time for Clubhouse for the past couple of months as the company rolled out new messaging features and Android app for users to access the platform.
