Ambisonic Room Impulse Response

Ambisonic Room Impulse Responses (ARIRs) are used to capture and reproduce the acoustic characteristics of a space, enabling realistic virtual audio environments. Current research focuses on developing efficient methods for interpolating and extrapolating ARIRs to dynamically update the listener's perspective in six degrees of freedom (6DoF), often employing algorithms that decompose the impulse response into localized sound events for more accurate repositioning. This allows for interactive auralization in virtual reality applications, improving realism and immersion by accurately reflecting the changing spatial relationship between the listener and sound sources. The resulting advancements have significant implications for virtual and augmented reality, architectural acoustics, and other fields requiring high-fidelity spatial audio reproduction.
