DESCRIPTION:Spatial audio creates an immersive audio experience for listene
 rs. Today\, we can hear spatial audio in movies\, streaming music\, 360/3D
  videos\, VR games\, and VR apps. The most direct way to enjoy spatial aud
 io is not through a Dolby Atmos or DTS:X multi-channel sound system\, such
  as a soundbar\, but through a pair of headphones. Binaural audio\, which 
 delivers the two-channel sound directly to the listener’s two ears with 
 headphones\, can recreate the acoustic signals a listener would hear under
  natural conditions. It can also preserve the interaural time difference (
 ITD) and interaural level difference (ILD) cues\, which are crucial for so
 und localization.\n\nSince Fall 2017\, our 3D audio research team at the D
 epartment of Electrical and Computer Engineering\, University of Rochester
 \, has recorded over 70 live concerts at the Eastman School of Music and s
 everal other concert venues with various binaural and Ambisonic microphone
 s\, as well as 360/3D VR cameras. We have built a spatial audio recording 
 database for research and published many concert videos on YouTube. This o
 nline lecture will introduce different methods of recording\, producing\, 
 and rendering head-locked or head-tracking binaural audio for VR videos\, 
 games\, and apps. It will also demonstrate how to measure binaural impulse
  responses in a hall and use them to generate binaural sounds for audiovis
 ual VR testing. Please wear headphones to hear binaural 3D audio demos.\n\
