What atmoky does

atmoky GmbH is an Austrian spatial audio technology company founded in 2020 and headquartered in Graz. It builds software for hyper-realistic 3D audio rendering, anchored on a patented perceptual optimization model using Head-Related Transfer Functions (HRTF) that simulates human hearing for binaural audio over headphones and loudspeakers. The company serves primarily game developers, XR/VR/AR studios, wellness and productivity application developers, and professional audio engineers, with deep technical integrations into the major game audio stacks used by this audience.

The product portfolio centers on three active lines: trueSpatial, a spatial audio engine delivered as native plugins for Wwise, FMOD, Unreal Engine, and Unity; trueAcoustics, a dynamic acoustics and 3D reverb engine in early access that handles real-time propagation, diffraction, occlusion, and reverb without baked geometry; and Processing SDKs, multi-platform SDKs offering binaural rendering, loudspeaker rendering, ambisonics, upmixing, and Spatial Audio Player components for native and web applications. A legacy product, atmoky Ears, remains available for existing Wwise customers after being superseded by trueSpatial. The platform targets Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, Xbox, PlayStation, and visionOS, and emphasizes cross-platform consistency of the spatial experience.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model combining per-title perpetual game license fees (tiered from €300 for indie-tier first platform up to €10,000 for platinum-tier first platform, with additional per-platform fees) and monthly SDK subscriptions (free for indie/non-commercial, €599/month Basic with a €500k capacity limit, plus white-label and add-on options, and custom Enterprise pricing). Distribution is product-led via a self-serve developer portal at developer.atmoky.com with evaluation plugins for Wwise and other engines, supplemented by direct sales for commercial and Enterprise licensing. The company has built partnerships with Audiokinetic, FMOD, Epic Games, and Unity for core engine/middleware integration, alongside technology partners such as BMW, Sonible, Reynolds Microphones, 8th Wall, and IEM KUG, and is funded primarily through Austrian government agencies (aws, FFG, SFG) and the EU Horizon Europe MUSMET grant rather than traditional venture capital.

Core offering

atmoky develops and licenses spatial audio rendering software for games and XR applications. Its flagship products are trueSpatial (binaural rendering engine delivered as plugins for Wwise, FMOD, Unreal Engine, and Unity) and trueAcoustics (real-time dynamic acoustics and 3D reverb engine), supplemented by multi-platform Processing SDKs for native and web applications and the Engage interactive experiences platform. The company sells through per-game perpetual licenses, monthly SDK subscriptions, and enterprise licensing arrangements.

Product overview

atmoky is a spatial audio technology company offering a portfolio of products for games and XR applications. The core offering consists of trueSpatial (spatial audio engine with plugins for Wwise, FMOD, Unreal Engine, and Unity), trueAcoustics (dynamic acoustics and reverb engine), and Processing SDKs (multi-platform SDKs for native and web applications). The Engage platform provides interactive spatial audio experiences. The legacy atmoky Ears product remains available for existing Wwise customers. All products share a common perceptual optimization foundation for HRTF-based binaural rendering.

• Dolby Atmos for Gaming: Dolby Atmos offers spatial audio rendering tools for games and head-tracked headphone playback, serving the same AAA and mid-tier game studios atmoky targets but backed by Dolby's broader entertainment IP and licensing scale.
• Microsoft Spatial Audio (Windows Sonic / Project Acoustics): Microsoft bundles Windows Sonic and Project Acoustics with Windows/Xbox and Unity/Unreal integrations — a platform-native spatial audio stack that competes on price (often free) with atmoky's middleware plugins.
• Google Resonance Audio: Google's Resonance Audio is an open-source multi-platform spatial audio SDK for games, VR and web — directly comparable to atmoky's Processing SDKs on Unity, Unreal and Web (8th Wall) but distributed free under Google's brand.
• Apple Spatial Audio: Apple's Spatial Audio is integrated into iOS/visionOS and Logic Pro, providing HRTF-based rendering to the same headphone/listening endpoints atmoky targets for its SDK customers, often free as part of Apple's hardware ecosystem.

Regional players
