A sampling of the audio research being presented during the 3-day program includes a look at “Advances in Perceptual Bass Extension for Music and Cinematic Content” (authors: Sunil G. Bharitkar, Ema Souza Blanes, Glenn Kubota and Ashish Rawat); an exploration of an acoustic navigation experiment in virtual reality in “Navigation of Virtual Mazes Using Acoustic Cues” (authors: Sebastia Vicenc Amengual Gari, Paul Calamia and Philip Robinson); discovery of innovations in aural training exercises in “Generating Melodic Dictations Using Markov Chains and LSTM Neural Networks” (authors: Emilia Stefanowska, Stanisław Kacprzak and Piotr Książek); learning about challenges and technologies in working with compact electronic devices in the session “Audio Capture Using Structural Sensors on Vibrating Panel Surfaces” (authors: Tre DiPassio, Michael Heilemann and Mark Bocko); and hearing about recreating inner auditory experiences in “Representing Inner Voices in Virtual Reality Environments” (authors: Kuura Parkkola, Thomas McKenzie, Jukka Häkkinen and Ville Pulkki).
38 of the 100+ Papers and Posters presentations are authored or co-authored by students representing many top universities and institutes. These include a diverse range of topics such as “Open-access 3D-printed adjustable microphone turntable” (Bogdan Ioan Bacila, University of Huddersfield, UK); “A New Method for HRTFs Interpolation based on Inverse Distance Weighting” (Valeria Bruschi, Università Politecnica delle Marche, Italy); “A Review of Literature in Critical Listening Education” (Stephane Elmosnino, University of Technology Sydney, Australia); “Plasma Organ – Improvement of Prototype” (Miłosz Derżko, AGH University of Science & Technology, Poland); “Optimal Spatial Sampling of Plant Transfer Functions for Head-Tracked Personal Sound Zones” (Yue Qiao, Princeton University, USA); and “Inside The Quartet – A first-person virtual reality string quartet production” (Nils Meyer-Kahlen, Aalto University, Finland).
The AES Europe 2023 Convention also offers a robust program of student-focused sessions offering practical and career-oriented advice including “What I Wish I Knew (When Starting My Career)” and “What Does it Take to Become a Successful Audio Engineer?,” while student attendees are also encouraged to participate in Student Mix Critique sessions and the Sunday evening Student Party co-organized with Entropy – the electronic music cultural association of Student Union of Aalto University – to feature a rave room, jazz lounge and more.
