Multi-sensory Media: Adding Immersion to XR Experiences
Dr. Anderson Augusto Simiscuka, Postdoctoral Researcher with Research Ireland Insight Centre for Data Analytics, Dublin City University and a Lecturer at the National College of Ireland will present a lecture on Multi-sensory Media: Adding Immersion to XR Experiences. The lecture will be held from 10 AM to 12 PM, in Room NII1.
The lesson will be followed by a Q&A session and, by a meeting of the Directorial Board of the IEEE Broadcasting Chapter in Romania.
The lecture will be anchored in the frame of the HEAT https://heat-xr.eu/ project, specialised in XR content creation and distribution.
The HEAT project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe program, aims to push the boundaries of multi-sensory integration in XR environments. Besides the focus on holographic real-time communications, the project focuses on the application of multi-sensory elements such as olfactory feedback, wind effects, haptics and spatial audio to create fully immersive experiences. One notable aspect of the HEAT project is its effort to integrate these sensory components into live performances, including theater, concerts, and other events, enhancing the interaction between performers and their audiences. In this talk, we’ll explore the integration of multi-sensory media to live experiences, and how this approach enhances immersion.
