Past, Present, and Future of Spatial Audio and Room Acoustics
The study of spatial audio and room acoustics aims to create immersive audio experiences by modeling the physics and psychoacoustics of how sound behaves in space. In the long history of this research area, various key technologies have been developed based both on theoretical advancements and practical innovations. We highlight historical achievements, initiative activities, recent advancements, and future outlooks in the research area of spatial audio recording and reproduction, and room acoustic simulation, modeling, analysis, and control.
