Kajima Breaks Japan’s Crowdfunding Record with $6M, ‘OPSODIS 1’ Speaker, Debuting at CES 2026

JAPAN, January 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Kajima Corporation, one of Japan’s most established engineering and construction firms, today announced that “OPSODIS 1”, a compact 3D audio speaker featuring Kajima’s proprietary immersive sound technology, will make its global debut at CES 2026, taking place January 6 to 9 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“OPSODIS 1” is a compact 3D audio speaker that features “OPSODIS®”, an immersive sound technology jointly developed by Kajima Corporation and the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom.

The achievement also earned multiple awards across Japan for innovation and engineering excellence.

Its CES 2026 appearance marks a significant milestone, signaling Kajima’s first major step into the global consumer audio market. By leveraging expertise cultivated over decades through the design of concert halls and advanced acoustic research, Kajima aims to introduce a new standard of immersive listening to audiences worldwide.

About OPSODIS
OPSODIS is a 3D audio reproduction technology jointly developed by Kajima Corporation and the University of Southampton’s Institute of Sound and Vibration Research. The name derives from the acoustic theory term Optimal Source Distribution.
The system combines proprietary signal processing, including crosstalk cancellation, with a symmetrical speaker layout that places high-frequency drivers near the center axis. This configuration delivers a natural and precise three-dimensional sound field. Unlike conventional spatial audio systems that depend on wall or ceiling reflections, OPSODIS projects sound directly to the listener, recreating accurate spatial cues in all directions.
