SCENICSelf-Configuring ENvironment-aware Intelligent aCoustic sensingAdvanced sound processing applications, particularly those based on array processing, are critically sensitive to the environment's acoustic response because their design does not account for the complex propagation phenomena that cause it. Reverberations are usually seen as a liability to take countermeasures against, while nature teaches us that the information provided by the acoustic interaction with the environment can become a valuable asset that enables complex navigational tasks and more. Turning the acoustic response from a liability into an asset requires a thorough understanding of propagation phenomena, and an accurate acoustic modelling of the environment. This can be done by listening to how the environment renders controlled sound emissions, as long as such emission exhibit a temporal as well as a spatial "structure".

The morning session gives an overview on the project goals and achievements. Agenda

DICIT: "Talking to your TV? - Naturally!" At the final review meeting at the LMS on January 14 and 15, 2010, the EU-Project DICIT ("Distant-talking Interfaces for Control of Interactive TV") received the best possible project score. In this context, the "acoustic front-end" that had been developed with the LMS Audio Group as the responsible project partner was characterized as the highlight of the project.For an impression of the functionality of the developed prototype you may want to watch the demo video produced at LMS. Further information can be found on the official DICIT homepage. |
