3D sound production for live performances based on object-based approach

Three-dimensional (3D) visualization of spaces is commonly used nowadays giving the opportunity to the audience/user to fully explore a virtual space. Auralization is considered as the audio equivalent to visualization and through its application the audience can experience the acoustics of a virtual space as they were present. There is an increased interest in this subject as part of cinema, game audio industry and film production with 3D sound reproduction systems. The proposed project will focus on a case study, aiming to investigate the perceptual results of applying 3D sound for live performances.
