Hearing connects us to the world both three-dimensionally and emotionally. We hear in 360°, through obstacles, in the dark, and even while we’re asleep.
Losing our hearing dramatically reduces our sense of presence and our understanding of the environment.
As audio professionals, we use sound to tell stories, to enrich visual content, to illustrate purpose, and to engage and immerse our audiences.
And the sound we design can take many forms: linear or non- linear, and in many different formats: mono, stereo, surround, spatial, and so on.
Today we will discuss a form we kind of knew, but never had a name for: AAR: Audio Augmented Reality.
Today's guest, Matias Harju is so deeply involved in this field that he wrote a book about it:
Audio Augmented Reality: Concepts, Technologies and Narratives. It covers a huge range of technical and creative aspects of AAR.
That is way too much to tell you today. But we are going to dip our toes into this world and discus a lot of applications for this technique.
