Call for Contributions
Interactive Audio Systems Symposium,
University of York
York, UK
Friday 23rd September, 2016
Recent advances in low-cost motion-tracking and sensing technologies,
coupled with increased computing power have paved the way for new
methods of audio production and reproduction. Interactive audio
systems can now readily utilise non-tactile data such as listener
location, orientation, gestural control and even biometric feedback,
such as heart rate, to intelligently adjust sound output. Such systems
offer new creative possibilities for a diverse range of applications
ranging from virtual reality, mobile technologies, in-car audio,
gaming, social media and film and TV production.
The University of York is pleased to announce a one-day symposium
dedicated to this topic of interactive audio systems. The symposium
will explore the perceptual, signal processing and creative challenges
and opportunities arising from such audio systems affected through
enhanced human-computer interaction.
The symposium will consist of original paper and poster sessions as
well as invited presentations from key industry figures and
demonstrations of emerging interactive audio technologies. We are now
accepting proposals (Abstract and Precis) for 4-8 page papers or
posters on novel research in related fields to interactive audio
including, but not limited to, the following areas:
- Moving sounds and moving listeners
- Audio for Virtual Reality
- Spatial audio techniques
- Psychoacoustics and perception
- Signal processing for interactive audio
- Robust listener control
- Motion tracking
- Game audio
- Real-time audio synthesis
- Interactive music generation
- Workflows for interactive audio
- Sound design for interactive audio
We also invite proposals for tutorials, workshops and demos to be
presented on the day.
