ICSA 2017: Program online / Register now
posted:
The fourth ICSA deals with three-dimensional production and playback and this year focuses on binaural playback on headphones. Alongside theory, the conference addresses practical aspects and the art of 3D sound. Once a theoretical field of study into the technology of spatial audio recording and reproduction, spatial audio has evolved from basic science into a practical experience with many examples of artistic adaptation to 3D audio and Virtual Reality.

The main program offers plenty of opportunities to listen to different immersive audio systems provided by the excellently equipped facilities in Graz. In addition, attendees can consider numerous listening examples and take part in a variety of demonstrations. A continual series of lectures and an accompanying poster session cover the scientific part of the ICSA. Additional immersive audio concerts, the first European ’Student 3D Audio Production Competition’ with its final during the ICSA, and the Ambisonics Summer School following directly after ICSA, round off the event.
