Project SONICOM SONICOM is a 5-year research project funded under the Horizon2020 FET Proactive – Boosting emerging technologies. The goal is to revolutionise the way we interact socially within AR/VR environments and applications by leveraging Artificial Intelligence to design a new generation of immersive audio technologies and techniques, specifically looking at personalisation and customisation of the audio rendering. The LIM staff focuses on spatial audio, looking at AI HRTF modelling, spatial hearing perception, and real/virtual blending. |
Project VOCAPRA The LIM collaborates with the Department of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences of the University of Milan on a project funded by the Lombardy Region.
