Conference Schedule

During the conference, live A/V streams are available for the main track: High Quality and Low Bandwidth.

Remote participants are invited to join #lac2015 on irc.freenode.net, to be able to take part in the discussions, ask questions, and get technical assistance in case of stream problems.

Day 1 - Thursday, April/9 
Paper Presentation
10:00 Toolbox for acoustic scene creation and rendering (TASCAR): Render methods and research applications - Paper Presentation
(45 min)  Giso Grimm, Joanna Luberadzka, Tobias Herzke, Volker Hohmann » Location: Main venue (P1)
TASCAR is a toolbox for creation and rendering of dynamic acoustic scenes that allows direct user interaction and was developed for application in hearing aid research. This paper describes the simulation methods and shows two research applications in combination with motion tracking as an example. The first study investigated to what extent individual head movement strategies can be found in different listening tasks. The second study investigated the effect of presentation of dynamic acoustic cues on the postural stability of the listeners.

Day 1 - Thursday, April/9 
Installation
15:30 Interactive virtual audio-visual concert simulation with TASCAR
(150 min)  Giso Grimm, Joanna Luberadzka, Tobias Herzke, Volker Hohmann » Location: Installation Space
TASCAR is a toolbox for acoustic scene creation and rendering. In this demonstrator three concert stages can be interactively explored in a virtual audio-visual environment. On the first stage, a time varying physical feedback model with three moving microphones and three simulated loudspeakers is placed. This simulation without any external sounds results in a sound experience very similar to Steve Reich's "pendulum music". On the second stage a jazz band is playing. The third musical event is a contemporary piece with moving virtual sources, performed on a viola da gamba ensemble.
The interactive virtual acoustic environment is rendered in real-time and illustrates different aspects of the rendering software as well as the effect of binaural hearing. The simulation is rendered 3rd order horizontal Ambisonics. It will be reproduced in an 8-channel loudspeaker setup. This demonstration complements the TASCAR paper in the main track.

Day 3 - Saturday, April/11 
Poster Session
11:30 Interactive virtual audio-visual concert simulation with TASCAR - Poster Presentation
(60 min)  Giso Grimm, Joanna Luberadzka, Tobias Herzke, Volker Hohmann » Location: Foyer

The schedule is a major guideline. There is no guarantee events will take place at the announced timeslot.
