Immersive Audio, What, How and Why Now?
This lesson has shown the meaning of immersive audio. Immersive audio is like a Spatial Audio that creates a realistic and enveloping sound experience for the listener. The goal of immersive audio is to reproduce sound in a way that accurately replicates the way humans perceive sound in the real world, such as a sense of depth, height and spatial positioning.
It can be created with:
- multi-channel speaker setups
- object-based audio
- spatial audio techniques to position sound sources precisely
It is a 3D sound field, which explores the relationships between sound, space, and the listener’s perception.
For spatial reproduction accuracy:
- ambisonic recordings (https://rode.com/en/about/news-info/the-beginners-guide-to-ambisonics)
- playback
(where there can be also research into psychoacoustic manipulation of spatial cues and challenging auditory perception) – How people interact and perceive with the environments, various people might have different habits, but how sound affects them, what are their conditional reflexes?)
Idea developments:
From this lesson l have understood the concept of immersive media, which is a very visual example of spatialisation in sound art. Where sound designing should be planned within a certain space, what kind of item in the space, and what position of speaker, all of those details will make a huge difference in a sound artwork. Especially for the audience, the location of the speakers of where the sound is transmitted to will make the audience feel a different emotion. Therefore, this problem could be another detail for me to pay attention to for my final sound work.
