This three-day conference will be organized by the AES Finnish Section, the Helsinki University of Technology’s Laboratory of Acoustics and Audio Signal Processing, and Nokia Research Center. It will bring together researchers and developers in the fields of virtual and synthetic audio, as well as entertainment audio applications, targeted particularly to PCs, the Internet, and mobile devices. Sound analysis, modeling, and synthesis techniques will be considered, from sound sources through to the room acoustics and the listener. The issues of coding, delivery, presentation, and rendering of natural and synthetic audio will be emphasized with respect to immersive and interactive applications such as games, sound effects, virtual reality, virtual program production, and telepresence. Perceptual issues will also be considered for these pleasure/leisure applications.
