[AUDITORY] Workshop on interactive acoustic communication in dynamic virtual reality, using TASCAR and OVBOX.



Dear all,

we are pleased to announce the next TASCAR-Workshop, see below.

Best regards,

Giso Grimm


Workshop on interactive acoustic communication in dynamic virtual reality, using TASCAR and OVBOX.

Dates: 23rd–24th September 2025.

Location: Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, Germany, NeSSy Building W30

Details:
A workshop on using TASCAR and OVBOX to generate dynamic acoustic virtual reality for communication experiments will be offered at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg on 23rd and 24th September 2025. The workshop will cover key TASCAR and OVBOX concepts, including interactive binaural rendering, data logging, Matlab integration, game engine connection, calibration, openMHA integration and room acoustics. Participants will gain hands-on experience working in small groups.

TASCAR (Toolbox for Acoustic Scene Creation and Rendering) is a tool for creating interactive, dynamic acoustic scenes. Focusing on the physically motivated, low-delay simulation of acoustics, TASCAR serves as a laboratory tool for reproducible science. Early reflections can be simulated using a geometric image source model, while diffuse late reverberation can be added via a feedback delay network (FDN) or convolution reverberation. TASCAR is completely open source and available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. The OVBOX is a low-delay network communication tool with applications in music and communication research. It is based on TASCAR.
