Exarion, an intellectual property (IP) company for spatial audio and video processing semiconductors, said on the 11th that it has been selected as a member of Nvidia's global partner program "NVIDIA Connect Program."
Exarion, in which HanWool Semiconductor and related parties hold about 80% equity, is developing next-generation physical AI core technology that combines spatial audio, video processing, semiconductor IP, and AI optimization technologies.
The company said, "The selection as a member marks a step for Exarion to be formally connected to Nvidia's global AI computing ecosystem," adding, "It is significant in that it lays the groundwork for a cooperative relationship that could extend to using technical resources, technology verification, and joint development discussions going forward."
The Nvidia Connect Program, which selects a small number of members each year through a rigorous review, is a global independent software vendor (ISV) support program for software development and service corporations. Unlike "Inception," which focuses on nurturing early-stage startups, Nvidia selects and supports companies at the product commercialization stage.
With this selection, Exarion plans to expand its technical touchpoints within the Nvidia ecosystem and accelerate the advancement of core technologies aimed at the physical AI era. In particular, the company intends to develop its spatial audio, video processing, and semiconductor IP technologies so they can be linked with Nvidia's AI computing environment, broadening the potential for collaboration with global AI infrastructure companies in the future.
Exarion's Sound-Tracing technology analyzes in real time how sound moves and is reflected, absorbed, and shielded to create a three-dimensional spatial audio environment. It can be applied to a range of fields, including in-cabin automotive audio, Extended Reality (XR) devices, smart homes, and Digital Twin.
Exarion has secured the world's first real-time AI denoising and dehazing technologies, along with foundational Sound-Tracing technology. The real-time AI denoising and dehazing technology removes noise, fog, and blurring in camera footage in real time and restores a clear field of view.
