T hese applications range from education and training\, gaming\, remote work \, to virtual social gatherings.\n\nIn this talk\, we will explore the int egration of fundamental and advanced signal processing techniques for AR/M R audio. The speaker will draw from a recent feature article in IEEE Signa l Processing Magazine [1] to provide researchers and engineers in the sign al processing community with a comprehensive understanding of the needs re quired for the next wave of AR/MR.\n\nThe talk will focus on the major sig nal processing and machine learning techniques for intelligent sensing\, r eal sound control\, and virtual sound rendering for Spatial Augmented Real ity Audio (SARA). These techniques play a critical role in ensuring that a udio cues in AR/MR applications are accurate\, realistic\, and enhance the overall user experience.\n\nThe presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art in AR/MR audio and inspire the d evelopment of new and innovative applications in this exciting field. By h ighlighting the challenges and opportunities in AR/MR audio\, we want to e ncourage further research and development in this area\, helping to drive innovation and push the boundaries of what is possible in AR/MR technology .\n\nSpeaker(s): Prof. Woon-Seng Gan\, \n\nAgenda: \n6:30 - 7:00 Social ha lf hour to network\, grab food and grab drinks\n\n7:00 - 8:00 Technical ta lk\n\nRoom: Mann Hall\, Bldg: Medical Sciences Building\, 300 3rd Ave SW\, Rochester\, Minnesota\, United States\, 55902\, Virtual: https://events.v tools.ieee.org/m/405782 LOCATION:Room: Mann Hall\, Bldg: Medical Sciences Building\, 300 3rd Ave SW \, Rochester\, Minnesota\, United States\, 55902\, Virtual: https://events .vtools.ieee.org/m/405782 ORGANIZER:pramanik.leena@ieee.org SEQUENCE:57 SUMMARY:March DL Talk!
