As part of the Redstick International Digital Festival, the EMDM Program presents the 2018 Immersive Audio Expo: a series of demonstrations, presentations and works exploring the techniques and experience of being immersed in sound.
LSU Digital Media Center
5-8PM, April 26th
Demonstrations begin at 5, presentations and works begin at 6PM
Inevitably, after each EMDM concert, the question arises, “how did you do that?” Often times it is the total immersion in sound that is most remarkable. There are many techniques to achieve different effects via recording, synthesis, and playback.
This Expo is designed for those wondering What? Why? and How? Presentations and discussion about various immersive audio techniques will be paired with demonstrations and hands on activities to explore. EMDM Researchers will be on hand to field any questions related to surround sound, spatialization, and immersive audio.
Specific Research Projects:
SoundSling
Imagine sending a sound around an entire room of mobile devices. With sound sling, the sound could be sent around the entire world. Bring your own phone!
Anthony T. Marasco
Lost in Space
Using bluetooth beacons to create walkable soundmaps.
