	March 8, 2007 A World of My Own Hears Voices (in 3D) Game Developers Conference 2007 SAN FRANCISCO--Game Developers Conference 2007 -- DiamondWare and Trianit announce today that users of “A World of My Own," a new game downloading platform published by the British company Game Domain International in co-operation with Virgin Games, will experience an immersive voice technology that mirrors real-life communications. DiamondWare’s voice technology combines 3D positioning with high-definition audio. A World of My Own is expected to be available to gamers this year. “In a social network, like A World of My Own, 3D positional voice reinforces friendships made in-world because the voices move with the players,” said Guido Lüttgens, CEO of Trianit, the developer of A World of My Own. “3D voice is a killer feature which we think will make our 3D graphical platform more unique, and further drive usage.” “An immersive digital environment has to let anyone walk up to other people and interact. For voice to feel real, it needs to work the same way. These are new problems, requiring a new kind of technology. And that’s what we’ve built,” stated Keith Weiner, CEO of DiamondWare. “For a user to make sense of the large number of conversations occurring in any online world, three capabilities are needed. First, each voice’s 3D position helps the listener’s brain tune in or out by its direction, like at a crowded party. Second, voices get quiet as people move apart, so there are not too many conversations at once. Third, high-definition (32 kHz) gives the kind of sound quality found in digital home theater, as compared to the telephone.” About DiamondWare DiamondWare provides best-of-breed real time voice technology with ground-breaking 3D positioning and high-definition quality.
