I-HE(AR)^2 [I Hear Too] - Improving Heritage Experience through Acoustic Reality and Audio Research

音频和声学研究如何用于遗产材料和文物的解释，理解和表现？如何更好地为未来的研究人员和遗产游客保存这些音频材料？2009年10月将在约克敏斯特及其周边地区举行的I-HE（AR）^2-Live，一个包括声音作品、装置、演示和音频互动的节目，将展示科学/遗产研究的这些方面，并为未来的工作设定基准。I-HE（AR）^2-Live是I-HE（AR）^2研究集群系列研讨会的高潮，突出了音频/声学研究和技术作为遗产体验核心组成部分的潜力。这将是感兴趣的研究人员，从业人员，遗产利益相关者，和潜在的行业合作伙伴，从英国和国际，与显着的额外的公共利益，由于性质和兴趣，在所选的地点，确保传播的工作，这一集群在尽可能广泛的观众。声音往往被认为是穷人的关系，视觉刺激，但是在传达信息以供收听者快速吸收方面起着重要作用，并且是虚拟/增强现实应用的多模式感知中的关键组成部分。I-HE（AR）的职责范围包括通过考虑声音对象（录音、声音档案、音乐、乐器）、建筑环境（建筑声学、考古声学、可听化）、遗址和景观（环境中的声音）来理解和保护遗产。所有这些元素都随着时间的推移而发生变化，因此它们的音频/声学保存对于后代了解过去与它们的任何其他物质方面或属性一样重要。I-HE（AR）^[2]的活动将讨论这一领域的关键研究问题，包括在遗产保护中使用录音和档案，它们的修复，组织和访问以及现在记录什么以便将来保存;虚拟声学现实和沉浸式声音作为以新形式保存和呈现声音和环境的手段;声音、声音艺术和档案记录作为访问、增强理解或体验遗产多样性的手段的作用;将遗产中的声学研究正规化的重要性及其适当的背景化;使用声景向听众或更广泛的受众传达信息。为了进一步支持和传播专题组的工作，将提供可下载的播客，作为我们讲习班的产出，从而帮助提供我们自己保存的活动档案。通过这一工作计划，I-HE（AR）^[2]将促进音频在遗产保护、体验和研究中的使用方式的逐步转变，并在项目结束时将社区聚集在一起，形成一个新的多学科研究的重点。

How can audio and acoustics research be employed in the interpretation, understanding and representation of heritage materials and artifacts? How might such audio materials be better preserved for future generations of researchers and heritage visitors? I-HE(AR)^2-Live, a programme of sound works, installations, demos and audio interactives to be held in and around York Minster in October 2009 will showcase these aspects of science/heritage research and set a benchmark for future work. I-HE(AR)^2-Live is the culmination of the I-HE(AR)^2 research cluster's series of workshops, highlighting the potential for audio/acoustic research and technology as a core component of the heritage experience. It will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, heritage stakeholders, and potential industry partners from across the UK and internationally, with significant additional public interest due to the nature of and interest in the chosen venue ensuring the dissemination of the work of this cluster across the widest possible audience.Sound is often considered the poor relation of visual stimuli, yet plays a significant role in conveying information for rapid assimilation by a listener, and is a key component in the multi-modal perception of virtual/augmented reality applications. The remit of I-HE(AR)^2 encompasses the understanding and preservation of heritage through the consideration of sound objects (recordings, sound archives, music, instruments), the built environment (architectural acoustics, archaeological acoustics, auralization), sites and landscapes (sound in context). All of these elements are subject to change over time and so their audio/acoustic preservation is just as important for understanding of the past by future generations as any of their other material aspects or properties.There are key research issues in this area that will be discussed as part of I-HE(AR)^2's activities, including the use of sound recordings and archives in heritage preservation, their restoration, organisation and access together with what to record now for future preservation; virtual acoustic reality and immersive sound as a means to preserve and render sounds and environments in new forms; the role of sound, sound-art and archival recordings as a means to access, enhance understanding, or experience the diversity of heritage; the importance of formalising acoustics research in heritage together with its proper contextualisation; the use of soundscape for conveying information to a listener or wider audience. To further support and disseminate the work of the cluster, downloadable podcasts will be made available as outputs from our workshops, thereby helping to provide our own preserved archive of activities. Through this programme of work, I-HE(AR)^2 will facilitate a step-change in how audio is used for preserving, experiencing and researching heritage, and by the end of the project will have brought together communities to form a newly focused stream of multi-disciplinary research.
