Binaural Stereo

Binaural stereo, the reproduction of sound as experienced by human ears, aims to create immersive auditory experiences. Current research focuses on developing advanced algorithms, such as generative adversarial networks and filter-and-sum beamforming networks, to synthesize realistic binaural audio from various sources, including monaural recordings and visual data. This involves leveraging visual cues to improve spatial accuracy and exploring efficient model architectures for real-time applications, like those used in virtual and augmented reality. The resulting advancements have significant implications for fields such as entertainment, assistive technologies (e.g., for the visually impaired), and virtual/augmented reality, offering more realistic and engaging auditory experiences.
