The 3D Sound Lab

Research We are primarily interested in solving any of the practical difficulties that currently hinder the widespread adoption of binaural audio.  The broad areas of our current work encompass:
  • non-acoustical methods for estimating head-related impulse responses very rapidly, taking into account the individual shapes of listeners' heads and ears;
  • low cost solutions for the perceptually accurate reproduction of binaural sound;
  • efficient storage and transmission of binaural signals using psychoacoustically-informed signal compression;
  • software tools for the manipulation of binaural audio signals.
