Dear members of the Auditory List, Oct. 1st from 4 pm to 7:30 pm (CEST): https://tu-berlin.zoom-x.de/j/68647079945?pwd=UyaWd5ly6ZQOQMnSgrmsS4T8HskhmP.1 If you are planning to attend, we appreciate if you can sign up here https://cloudy.ak.tu-berlin.de/index.php/apps/forms/s/KWeE9c8KJe8XQCs32QtHYzqJ Marc Schönwiesner will open the workshop with a keynote on HRTF adaptation, followed by group discussions on ideas, requirements, challenges, and open questions regarding the establishment of a standardized HRTF set. Background: Listener-specific head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) improve the perceived quality of virtual sound compared to using non-individualized HRTFs, but sufficiently accurate individualisation is not always feasible.
The NEMO initiative proposes to work as a community towards an alternative HRTF set that could lead to a similar immersive experience for the vast majority of listeners. This alternative relies on the adaptation abilities of listeners on using a new set of
HRTFs as if it was their own through consistent use of it. The NEMO initiative aims at finding and proposing a default HRTF dataset, which could be used across applications when individual HRTFs are not available. In the long run, this could improve the spatial
audio perception and ease the incorporation of spatial audio to all kinds of and across applications. With best regards – see you online Pedro Lladó, Katharina Pollack, Fabian Brinkmann, Nils Meyer-Kahlen |
