Iosono is an audio system developed by Fraunhofer Institute IDMT and Iosono GmbH in 2004 that uses wave field synthesis and a large number of speakers (300-400) to recreate 3D audio holograms across an entire room, rather than in a single sweet spot like traditional surround sound systems. The system takes a 3D audio representation of a scene and uses an algorithm to generate secondary sounds through the speakers to recreate the original audio field throughout the room. In 2014, Iosono was acquired by Barco.

Iosono is the product name of an audio system presented by the Fraunhofer
Institute IDMT and the Iosono GmbH in 2004. It is based on wave field synthesis, a method to use secondary audio sources to recreate primary wave fields, that was developed at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands in the 1980s. Given a 3D audio "picture" of the scene, a specialised algorithm generates secondary sound waves necessary to recreate it in the particular room and then instructs a large number of speakers (300-400) to generate the "audio hologram". While traditional surround sound systems can only recreate the original 3D sound in a small "sweet spot", Iosono claims it can recreate the original audio in the whole room. In 2014, Iosono was acquired by Barco.
