STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Nokia CEO Pekka Lundmark made a phone call using a new technology called "immersive audio and video" that improves the quality of a call with three-dimensional sound, making interactions more lifelike, the company said on Monday.

"We have demonstrated the future of voice calls," said Lundmark, who was also present in the room when the first 2G call was made in 1991.
