We can basically get three axes of motion data about the user’s head,” says Bruin.

Portalis anapp that creates immersive soundscapesthat seem to be fixed in real space around you.
But before AirPods' head tracking, it would have been impossible to build into a phone.
It’s precisely the kind of thing our devices should be doing for us.
