LISTEN IST-1999-20646
Augmenting everyday environments through interactive soundscapes
Project website: http://listen.gmd.de/
- Project Abstract
- LISTEN will provide users with intuitive access to personalised and situated audio information spaces while they naturally explore everyday environments. A new form of multi-sensory content is proposed to enhance the sensual, emotional and pedagogical impact of a broad spectrum of applications ranging from art shows to marketing or entertainment events. This is achieved by augmenting the physical environment through a dynamic soundscape, which users experience over motion-tracked wireless headphones. Immersive audio-augmented environments are created by combining high-definition spatial audio rendering technology with advanced user modelling methods.
- Objectives
- The main objectives are
- (1) to develop a new multi-sensory form of content - the immersive audio-augmented environment,
- (2) to create the knowledge and technology to produce and experience this new type of content, and
- (3) to validate immersive audio-augmented environments in real-world applications.
