T= he submission deadline is 30 Apr 2021. Please email me directly to h.lee@xxxxxxxx= d.ac.uk if you would like to express your intention to publish your work in= this special issue or to discuss potential topics. https://www.mdpi.com/journal/applsci/special_issues/Psychoacoustics_Extende= d_Reality Dear Colleagues, Extended reality (XR), which embraces the concepts of virtual reality, augm= ented reality and mixed reality, is a rapidly growing area of research and = development. XR technologies are now being adopted in many sectors of the i= ndustry (music and film entertainment, medical training, military training,= architectural simulation, virtual tourism, virtual education, etc.) XR ult= imately aims to provide the user with realistic, engaging and interactive v= irtual experiences in 3-degrees-of-freedom (3DOF) or 6-degrees-of-freedom (= 6DOF), and for this, it is important to achieve the high-quality dynamic re= ndering of audio as well as visual information. The traditional psychoacous= tics research has focused mainly on the investigations of specific auditory= cues in controlled listening environments. However, to provide the user wi= th a more plausible multimodal sensory experience in XR, psychoacoustics re= search needs to evolve and provide more ecologically valid experimental dat= a and theories about how human auditory perception works in various practic= al XR scenarios. From this background, this Special Issue aims to introduce= the recent development of psychoacoustics-based research focusing on XR an= d provide insights into future directions of research and development in th= is field. This issue will aim to collect more than 10 papers and will be pu= blished as a book collection. Research topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * Dynamic sound localisation * Auditory spatial perception * Binaural processing with head-tracking or/and motion-tracking * Auditory-visual interaction/multimodal perception * Rendering and perception of virtual acoustics * Sound recording and mixing techniques * Sound synthesis and design * Interactive and immersive storytelling * Hearing aid * Assistive listening * Auditory(=96visual) simulation and training Prof. Dr. Hyunkook Lee Guest Editor =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Dr Hyunkook Lee, BMus(Tonmeister), PhD, FAES, FHEA Reader (Associate Professor) in Music Technology Director of the Centre for Audio and Psychoacoustic Engineering (CAPE) Founder/Leader of the Applied Psychoacoustics Laboratory (APL) http://www.hyunkooklee.com <http://www.hyunkooklee.com> http://www.hud.ac.uk/apl Phone: +44 (0)1484 471893 Email: h.lee@xxxxxxxx Office: HA2/06 School of Computing and Engineering University of Huddersfield Huddersfield HD1 3DH United Kingdom University of Huddersfield inspiring global professionals.
