Binaural Audio

Binaural audio, aiming to replicate human spatial hearing by recording or synthesizing sound as perceived by two ears, is a rapidly advancing field. Current research focuses on improving the accuracy and efficiency of binaural audio generation and processing, employing techniques like neural networks (including transformers and diffusion models), and developing novel objective metrics for evaluating spatial audio quality. These advancements are driving progress in applications such as virtual and augmented reality, hearing aids, and soundscape analysis, offering more immersive and realistic audio experiences.
