Spatial Audio and Spatial Zones are two of our top requested features, so here's a deep dive on their functionality!
Spatial Audio:
Works great for large workspaces, and promotes natural conversation, just like you're in an office. Everyone in your office will have a bubble around them that as they approach others, the audio will automatically start to pick up. As they walk away, it will progressively fade away, then disappear.
Here's a link to our original release of Spatial Audio: https://feedback.spot.xyz/changelog/spatial-audio-beta
**Keep in mind that only Admins within an office can enable/disable Spatial Audio.
To enable Spatial Audio, go to Settings for the room, and enable Spatial Audio.
You'll see an icon in your Left Toolbar, indicating that Spatial Audio has been enabled.
Spatial Zones:
To promote even more natural conversation, without the team having to stand on each others shoulders, you can design Spatial Zones. Spatial Zones will only work within a room that has Spatial Audio enabled.
To design your Spatial Zone; go to the Edit World Function on your left (look for the 🔨 icon). Under the Add objects tab, type in Spatial Zone.
You can choose whether you want a your Spatial Zone to be a rectangle or oval, and start to drag and drop them around your office. Spatial Zones will show up in Green on the floor.
Members and guests of your office will be alerted when they enter a Spatial Zone area within an office.
