LG has announced Kardome’s Spatial Hearing AI technology for human-like voice localization and isolation is now commercially deployed in LG’s flagship OLED TV series. This deployment represents a significant leap in voice user interface (voice UI) performance, enabling LG’s OLED TVs to locate and focus on individual speech with human-like accuracy, even in high-background noise environments typical of modern living rooms.
“Kardome’s Spatial Hearing AI has proven itself in real-world consumer environments, and we are proud to bring this capability to our OLED TV customers worldwide,” said Jungho Kwak, Head of MS SW Platform Development Division, LG Electronics. “The deployment reaffirms LG’s commitment to delivering intuitive, intelligent user experiences through cutting-edge technology partnerships.”
By utilizing Kardome’s proprietary Spatial Hearing AI technology, LG can now provide its customers with the following features:
- Unmatched Voice Isolation: The “No-Mute” Experience: Kardome’s technology locates and isolates individual voices in real-world settings, distinguishing the user’s voice from background noise, such as a vacuum cleaner, multiple people speaking at once, or even the TV’s own playback. For the customer, this means they no longer have to reach for the remote to mute the TV or shout over other people talking just to change a setting.
- Human-Like Spatial Awareness: Unlike traditional VUI, Spatial Hearing AI enables the TV to “hear” like a human by identifying the speaker’s location and focusing on their specific voice. This allows for natural, seamless interaction regardless of the number of people in the room or the complexity of the acoustic environment.
“Reaching commercial deployment with LG at this scale is a defining moment for Kardome and for the voice AI category,” said Dani Cherkassky, CEO, Kardome. “Our Spatial Hearing AI technology is now in the hands of millions of consumers globally, and this is just the beginning. We are excited to continue expanding the scope of our collaboration with LG and to bring Spatial Hearing AI to even more product categories.”
The Kardome-powered LG OLED TVs are now available globally, with a projected target of millions of units for 2026, ensuring that customers worldwide can experience the next generation of voice-enabled interaction.
While the current TV integration focuses on Spatial Hearing AI technology for TVs, both companies continue to explore further expansion into smart appliances, audio products, and the automotive sector.
