The VAD Pro is the world’s first Virtual Auditory Display, bringing studio-reference spatial audio into a wearable form factor.

Powered by iyO’s proprietary spatialization technology, personalized psychoacoustics, and integrated head tracking, the system renders a precise virtual ambisonic sound field around the listener. The result is an immersive audio environment that allows artists to create, mix, and experience spatial sound from virtually anywhere.

Conceived as “an ambisonic studio in your pocket,” VAD Pro rethinks how professional audio tools can exist beyond the traditional studio setting. The industrial design challenge centered on translating advanced auditory computing into a product that felt lightweight, approachable, and wearable for everyday use, while maintaining the precision expected of professional-grade audio equipment.
