Roman Sick

Chief executive associated with HOLOPLOT’s commercial development

Major contribution

Roman Sick has led HOLOPLOT’s commercial development of electronically controlled loudspeaker systems for spatially targeted live and installed sound.

Sick joined HOLOPLOT in 2016, became an investor and later its chief executive. In his Headliner interview he describes recognizing the commercial potential of the firm’s sound-control technology rather than originating its underlying research himself.

HOLOPLOT’s approach uses matrix arrays and electronic beam control to address coverage and localization challenges. Interviews discuss applications ranging from large venues to targeted installations; Installation describes the David Hockney immersive-art project as an example of the company’s spatial-audio work.

Key work

  • HOLOPLOT commercial leadership (from 2016)
  • X1 matrix-array platform (discussed 2022)
  • David Hockney immersive-art installation (2023)
