IT’S A DIVE (standing for Individual Three-dimensional Spatial Auditory Displays for Immersive Virtual Environments) is a European research project funded at Aalborg University Copenhagen within the Horizon 2020 Marie Sk\u0142odowska-Curie Actions – Individual Fellowships programme (H2020-MSCA-IF-2017).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In IT’S A DIVE extremely innovative techniques for binaural sound rendering have been developed, following a multidisciplinary approach encompassing different research areas such as computer science, acoustics, and psychology. The focus of the research program has been on structural modeling of head-related transfer functions (HRTFs), i.e. a family of state-of-the-art modeling techniques that overcome the current limitations of headphone-based 3D audio systems. The customization of the HRTF model based on the user’s anthropometry grants to any user a low-cost and real-time fruition of realistic individual 3D audio, previously only possible with expensive equipment and invasive recording procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The main objective of the research program has been the definition and experimental validation, through subjective psychophysical tests, of a completely customizable model for binaural sound presentation, which is today still missing in the literature on spatial audio. The technical focus has been on the exploitation of a vast number of public HRTF databases, including custom controlled acoustical measurements, and of state-of-the-art machine learning techniques in order to customize HRTFs by incorporating prior knowledge on the relation between HRTF features and anthropometry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The research program has represented an innovative breakthrough for a plethora of applications, e.g. personal cinema, teleconferencing and teleoperation systems, electronic travel aids, and computer games. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
