- NTT, Inc. has developed the world's first spatial active noise control (spatial ANC) technology.
- The technology rapidly tracks and reduces fluctuating noise in environments like mobility cabins, aircraft, and offices.
- Conventional ANC technologies struggled with dynamic spatial changes in sound, but NTT's innovation enables real-time noise reduction.
- The system uses GPGPUs and RDMA for ultra-low latency and synchronization, achieving noise reduction with 1/10,000 the power consumption of conventional methods.
- Applications include automobiles, aircraft, railways, offices, and urban environments, aiming to improve quality of life and reduce noise-related health impacts.
- NTT plans to expand the technology to larger spaces and integrate auditory research for more comfortable acoustic experiences.
- The research will be exhibited at NTT R&D FORUM 2025 IOWN ��Quantum Leap from November 19 to 26, 2025.
