i mean, people have innovated in the areas they care already.
no one really cares that much about audio on phone calls. as long as they’re understandable.
people added video because it adds to the communication. spatial audio will not. it will only become common if one or two of these mega corps decide to shoehorn it into ever device. not because people actually want it or care.
might be a lucrative patent if we ever get holograms though
You can stream your video call to a TV right now, and spatial sound could help match the movement of the people on screen if the phone was stationary for a more immersive call.
No need to haul anything around, just some creative thinking.
This was true for TVs until it wasn’t.
Edit: apparently some young whippersnappers don’t know TVs used to be mono before they were stereo, and now some TVs even have spatial sound.

… You realize this has been innovated because someone cares, right?
Like this is such a silly argument. “Why would we make cars not use steam? If people cared about it we would have already innovated!”
it’s not that it shouldn’t be done, I’m just predicting it’s going to flop.
You think we haul 30" phones around in the foreseeable future?
You don’t need the tv for the surround sound, the speakers fit inside tiny devices you can put near each ear.

No, clearly we walk around with full 5.1 surround sound speakers on poles.
