Exarion, a semiconductor fab-less company in Korea, will complete verification of semiconductor chip that support the Sound-Tracing for the first time in the world and unveil Exawave 100, a prototype (MPW) in the second half of this year.

The Sound-Tracing is a sound rendering technology that tracks the sound propagation paths between the sound sources and the listener in a three-dimensional space and generates real-life sound through real-time calculation. In addition, Sound-Tracing supports Visible 3D Sound Path on/off so that the propagation paths can be visually confirmed in a virtual space.

Exawave 100 went into prototyping with MPW through TSMC 12-nano process in April this year and was fab-out at the end of July. 

With the aim of securing mass production through hardware IP verification and prototype IC, and rapid mass production of first-generation Sound-Tracing with the SDK (Software Development Kit), the company plans to focus on market attacks to find domestic and foreign consumers and customers and carry out mass production verification projects.

Based on chips, it plans to focus on mass production development with global customers to respond to compatibility with various standard interfaces and form factors and to respond to various applications and portfolios according to customer needs.

Since Sound-Tracing calculates a valid sound path that changes depending on the medium of 3D topographic data, it can be applied to various industrial fields such as digital twins, metaverse, and games for simulation of smart factories, architectural sounds, and automobile battlefields. It has both software and hardware technology, so it can be installed in smart devices such as mobile and HMD and various devices such as automobiles, TVs, PCs, and consoles.

Exarion’s Exawave 100, which will be released at the end of this year, is expected to be an important opportunity for the world’s first Sound-Tracing semiconductor to enter the global market. In the future, Exarion aims to provide Sound-Tracing solutions tailored to various needs of customers and establish itself in the development of the upcoming virtual twin market, including the application industry of various customers.

Exarion’s Sound-Tracing algorithm received a lot of attention at the CES held in Las Vegas in 2024.
