City Immersive Sound and Movement Environment (CISME)

这个项目将导致一个创新的，模块化的性能系统-城市沉浸式声音和运动环境的建设-这将使我们能够进行研究，在视听性能涉及立体声，延展实境，和沉浸式投影。数字技术的使用，如化身，运动跟踪和各种形式的扩展/虚拟现实在戏剧和舞蹈表演中越来越普遍。在这个系统中，这些将成为结盟，并扩展，我们现有的研究优势，在健全的做法和不同空间内的声音操纵。该系统将是便携式的，因此它不仅可以部署在城市的内部空间，也可以部署在外部，在那里它将支持各种不同场地的表演活动。虽然之前的研究已经分别在3D成像和运动或沉浸式声音领域取得了进展，但CISME探索3D运动，图像和音频协同作用的核心动机是一个新颖的目标，而City和Urdang是唯一合格的。除了该系统将允许的尖端研究之外，我们还将利用它作为音乐，舞蹈和音乐剧学生培训和发展的一部分，这样，他们就可以获得与一些最新的数字技术，他们将越来越多地发现是专业环境的一部分，他们对未来的职业有抱负。

This project will lead to the construction of an innovative, modular performance system - City Immersive Sound and Movement Environment - which will allow us to undertake research in audio-visual performance involving ambisonic sound, extended reality, and immersive projection. The use of digital techniques such as avatars, movement tracking and various forms of extended/virtual reality are becoming increasingly widespread in theatre and dance performance. In this system these will become allied to, and extend, our existing research strengths in sound practice and the manipulation of sound within different spaces. The system will be portable, so that it can be deployed not only in City's internal spaces, but also externally, where it will underpin performance events in a variety of different venues. While previous research has made advances separately in the fields of 3D imaging and movement or immersive sound, the core motivation of CISME to explore the synergies of 3D movement, image, and audio is a novel goal, and one for which City and Urdang are uniquely qualified.In addition to the cutting-edge research that the system will allow, we shall also use it as part of the training and development of our students in music, dance and musical theatre, so that they can gain experience of working with some of the latest digital techniques that they will increasingly find to be part of the professional environments to which they aspire in their future careers.
