ESSLab @ LSU

The eco-systemic sound lab is an exploratory research lab where we inspect

  • the connection between humans and nature
  • scientific data and the possibilities of its re-presentation in sound
  • interactivity through physical, virtual, and computer mediated systems
  • Hybrid Worlds – a combination of Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality and Extended Reality
