| Summary of Lecture | This class aims to address the growing importance of spatial audio in creating immersive experiences in virtual spaces. Currently, there is a lag in understanding how to effectively handle auditory information to complete such experiences, particularly in comparison to the processing of visual information. Throughout this course, the primary focus will be on studying the latest technologies for rendering spatial audio in the context of virtual and augmented reality. This will be achieved through in-depth class discussions of selected literature on the subject. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to gain practical experience with these technologies using two formats: a multichannel loudspeaker array and headphones. The specific focus of 2024 is given to the following topic: how to reduce perceptual/cognitive gap between multichannel-based and headphone-based reproduction of immersive sound field. The discussions in the class will adopt a human-centric approach, emphasizing the psychoacoustic aspects of spatial audio technologies. Students will explore the perceptual qualities and merits of these technologies, considering how they influence the overall listening experience, especially in reproduced music listening experience. Simultaneously, the class will have an application-centric perspective, examining in-situ use cases and projects associated with music reproduction context. This approach will allow students to understand how spatial audio technologies can be effectively utilized in practical recording and reproduction of music. Students will have the opportunity to engage in hands-on experiences with immersive recording and mixing techniques, further enhancing their understanding of spatial audio in real-world applications. By combining theoretical discussions, practical exercises, and project-based learning, this class aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of spatial audio technologies and their application in creating immersive experiences. |

| Evaluation Criteria | * The followings evaluation criteria may change: A. Attendance: 10 % B. Midterm exam: 20 % C. Final exam: 20 % D.Quiz: 30 % E. Project: 20 % * Limitations on course retaking, if any: Please do not take this course if you don't have any audio engineering background. This is the most advanced level course in the audio engineering and spatial sound domain. No review will be given to the students after the 1st week |
