Dear list,
Registration for the Audio Engineering Society’s 2nd International Conference on Audio for Virtual and Augmented Reality (
AES 2018 AVAR) is open! The conference will be held at DigiPen Institute of Technology in Redmond, WA, from August 20th--22nd, with a program focusing around the dissemination of top-level research in the field of spatial audio for virtual and augmented reality, and discussion of technical solutions and recommended practices.
From over 60 submissions, papers chairs Joe Tylka, Rahulram Sridhar, and Edgar Choueiri have selected approximately 40 papers, whose topics include: HRTF personalization, measurement, and modeling; production, sound design, and tools for VR/AR; spatial perception and subjective evaluation; ambisonics and binaural rendering of 3D sound fields; and virtual acoustics and modeling.
In addition to the paper and poster sessions, workshops/tutorials chair Linda Gedemer has organized a selection of tutorials, demonstrations, panel discussions, and workshops on a wide-range of current topics, including: sound for 360-degree productions, audio design for VR experiences, HRTF personalization, music for VR/AR, ambisonics for immersive audio, audio production for VR/AR, and accessibility for VR/AR.
Each day of the conference will feature a keynote address given by established researchers in the field: Ivan Tashev (Microsoft) on 3D audio, Jean-Marc Jot (Magic Leap) on wearable 3D audio, and Ravish Mehra (Oculus) on sound propagation for virtual and augmented reality. After each keynote there’ll be a special workshop panel dedicated to the topic of the address.
