Why xHE-AAC is being embraced at Meta

In August 2021 we announced that we licensed our xHE-AAC audio codec software to Facebook. Today, xHE-AAC is providing a superior audio experience to users of Facebook and Instagram, for example in their Reels and Stories. This motivated Meta to share their experience with the benefits of xHE-AAC in a dedicated post on the Meta engineering blog.

 

And the Grammy goes to…

Stewart Copeland, Ricky Kej, Herbert Waltl, and Eric Schilling for “Divine Tides”!

The Fraunhofer IIS team sends congratulations on the award in the “Best Immersive Audio” category.
