AES 2023 International Conference on Spatial and Immersive Audio

Call for Submissions

Main Event Page

Spatial/immersive audio is one of the hottest topics in the audio industry, creative and research communities right now. With the advance of multichannel/object-based audio and binaural audio technologies, spatial audio is becoming more and more accessible to the general public.

Although spatial audio has been researched and developed over several decades, it has only been several years since it has become a major interest to the general public, thanks to commercial services available on streaming services and mobile devices.

Immersive audio is another term that is often used as a synonym to spatial audio, but the true potential of spatial audio to provide a fully immersive experience has not been fully explored yet. To maximise industrial and societal impacts of spatial audio, now is the time for the industry and beyond to get together for this years AES International Conference on Spatial and Immersive Audio!

Join us at the University of Huddersfield, with its cutting edge facilities, for 3 days of workshops, demonstrations, peer reviewed papers and in-person networking.
