[Sursound] Postdoctoral Research Associate (Spatial Audio & Accessibility)
Hello all Apologies for cross-posting The AudioLab (audiolab.york.ac.uk) at the Department of Electronic Engineering, University of York is looking for a talented post-doctoral research associate to join the Enhancing Audio Description II project. The project seeks to explore the potential of sound design practices and spatial audio to provide accessible film and television experiences for visually impaired audiences. The project builds on the first Enhancing Audio Description (EAD) Project, which proposed a new paradigm in accessible experiences for visually impaired individuals. Rather than a reliance on spoken description, as in tradition Audio Description, EAD utilises new accessibility features that include: the addition of sound effects, the spatialisation of dialogue and sounding objects, and first-person narration, to provide accessible experiences that are seamlessly integrated into the soundtrack of a film or television programme. This project explores further how these features can transition from one-off bespoke projects, to fully integrated tools in the production workflows for television and film. The exploration of these methods will be conducted with an end-user centred approach, in which visually impaired audiences are consulted from the design process up to delivery. Furthermore, the project explores the creation of guidelines that will allow the incorporation of these methods to professional broadcasting pipelines and film workflows, by collaborating with a Project Advisory Panel representative of the different roles in film and television as well as end users. Role The position is of 2 year duration. The candidate is required to have strong background knowledge in spatial audio, listening test design and implementation, audio production workflows and good coding skills. They will conduct a programme of research to fulfil deliverables on the Enhancing Audio Description II project, including development of production and post-production tools and conducting listening studies to evaluate project outputs. They will disseminate research at international conferences, symposia and consortium meetings as well as create articles for high impact journals. Skills, Experience & Qualification needed A first degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, Music Technology or related discipline and a PhD in Spatial Audio or related field.

New developments in human-computer interaction, in particular head and body motion tracking and artificial intelligence, are paving the way for adaptive and intelligent audio technologies that promote audio personalisation and heightened levels of immersion. Interactive audio systems can now readily utilise non-tactile data such as listener location, orientation, gestural control and even biometric feedback such as heart rate or skin conductance, to intelligently adjust immersive sound output. Such systems offer new creative possibilities for a diverse range of applications from virtual and augmented reality through to automotive audio and beyond. This opens up exciting new opportunities for artists and audio producers to create compelling immersive experiences. This three-day conference will explore the unique space where interactive technologies and immersive audio meet and aims to exploit the synergies between these fields. The conference will include keynote lectures, technical paper sessions, tutorials and workshops, as well as technological and artistic demonstrations of immersive and interactive audio. Proposed Topics Perception - 3-D spatial perception - Auditory attention and engagement - Auditory interaction - Cross modal perception - Moving sounds and moving listeners - Metrics for and evaluation of immersive and interactive audio Engineering - Intelligent audio systems - Interactive production tools for immersive audio - Immersive audio recording techniques - Loudspeaker reproduction of interactive audio - Motion tracked binaural and HRTF processing - Biophysiological feedback as a control signal - Spatial audio signal processing - Spatial reproduction methods - Streaming of immersive and interactive audio - Virtual acoustics Sound Design - Audio for games - Sound design for virtual and augmented reality - Immersive audio effects - Interactive music composition and generation - Immersive sound design for film, TV, theatre, games and interactive media - Narratives and workflows for interactive audio - Object and scene based production and reproduction - Sonic interaction design - Virtual auditory environments Submissions All submissions should have a clear connection with immersive and interactive audio.

Re: [Sursound] , ambi playback configution and calibration
Hi, There has been many commercial products for 5.1 based on the notion of self-calibration. The idea that you hold a set-up microphone supplied by the manufacturer at the listening position and then each speaker generates a noise burst/tone/sweep in turn thereby determining distance from listening position and level for phase alignment and frequency dependent gain compensation respectively. See for example http://www.sony.co.uk/product/hcs-home-cinema-receiver/str-dn1030/technical-specifications#tab Best, Gavin On 26 September 2013 05:14, David Worrall worr...@avatar.com.au wrote: Hi David, Thanks for your considered response. I _was_ actually thinking of it autolocating the speakers. And not necessarily just for ambisonics, actually. Some sort of a spectrum analyser/preamplifier device that derived the correct decode/gain controls of the real system acccording to the actual location of the loudspeakers, decode algorithm and your preferred listening spot ... and that self-callibrated each time you turned the system on. Given how difficult it seems to be for billions of people to set up a 5.1 system, surely there must be a market? I'm actually surprised that such a device doesn't already exist. Oh well, back to the stone-age method...

That would be clever and probably expensive. I have something that was built in MAX/MSP, and can turn it into an application (Mac OS preferred but Windows is probably possible). It is first order only, up to 16 speakers, and based on all the info about good decoders I've found, and can understand and implement. Of course it could be extended to higher orders, once the maths is thought through and the issue of different kinds of W. Haven't done this as most of the people I'm dealing with don't have enough speakers to make it worthwhile or essential. It's basically part of something else which is trying to do all sorts of ambisonic things with 16 inputs from a DAW running on the same computer. So, until higher powered computers become affordable in an income challenged age, processing power has to be carefully used. Increasing the ambisonic order starts to push up the number of audio streams that need handling in a non-linear manner. Such a decoder needs listening to, which means that you have to able to generate something to listen to to assess how well the encode/decode works, something I haven't had time to do above 2nd order. If only there was more time, things got done quicker, or someone was paying for the work by the hour.
