SpACE-Net - The Spatial Audio Creative Engineering Network

空间音频研究关注的是以根据人类听觉系统的空间特性优化的方式向观众呈现音乐和音频材料。最终，这项工作旨在应对挑战，合成一个复杂的三维声学世界，与我们通常听到的声音没有区别。在这一领域的工作已经达到了一个点，多通道传输系统最终在家庭环境中被接受，主要是通过娱乐行业的应用，如DVD，家庭影院系统和多媒体计算技术。因此，这些最近的事态发展沉淀需要确定未来的研究方向，在这个日益苛刻的area.UK空间音频研究目前是小，虽然有一些独特的领域，确保在更广泛的国际社会的知名度。拟议的网络旨在建立在目前的工作，以创建一个研究人员，从业者和艺术家，从科学，音频工程和艺术领域绘制的社区。预计通过这一网络以及理论、实验和创造性方法之间的接口，这些研究人员和从业人员的有效协调将导致未来空间音频工作中重要方向的确定、阐明和发展。

Spatial audio research is concerned with the presentation of music and audio material to an audience in a manner that is optimized according to the spatial properties of the human hearing system. Ultimately this work seeks to rise to the challenge of synthesizing a complex three-dimensional acoustic world that is indistinguishable from what we normally hear around us.Work in this area has reached a point where multichannel delivery systems are finally becoming accepted in the domestic environment, predominantly through applications in the entertainment industry such as DVD, home-theatre systems and multimedia computing technology. These recent developments therefore precipitate the need to identify future directions for research in this increasingly demanding area.UK spatial audio research is currently small although there are a number of unique areas that ensure visibility in the wider international community. The proposed network aims to build on this current work to create a community of researchers, practitioners and artists, drawn from the fields of science, audio engineering and the arts. It is anticipated that through this network and the interface between theoretical, experimental and creative approaches, the effective coordination of these researchers and practitioners will lead to the identification, articulation and development of important directions in future spatial audio work.
