What does the Centre do?
The Centre for 3D Sound deals with multidisciplinary research and the application of sound in various areas of life, with a special emphasis on psychoacoustics, sound analysis and synthesis, as well as its use in modern technologies and artistic concepts.
Psychoacoustics is the core area of our research and we study how people perceive and interpret sound. In the field of sound analysis and synthesis, we develop techniques for the precise study of sound signals and the creation of new sound materials. Through the application of sound in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), we explore how sound can enhance experiences in these technologies, allowing users to immerse themselves in realistic sound environments and interactions. At our lab, we reconstruct real-world sound environments and bring sound spaces from the past to life using various simulation methods.
The Centre deals with the use of sound in monitoring, where we develop methods for monitoring and analysing sound phenomena in industrial and work environments, contributing to improved safety and efficiency.
In multimedia art concepts, we explore how sound can be used as a means of expression and artistic communication, exploring innovative approaches and techniques in creating works of art that use sound. Human-computer interaction is a special segment, where we explore how sound can serve as a means to interact with and control computer systems, thereby advancing user interfaces and technologies for the better understanding and management of computer applications.
