This workshop is addressed to all who wish to learn about capturing immersive audio scenes for the purpose of virtual reality or music production. More specifically, this workshop will focus on a strategy for recording sound and enabling six-degrees-of-freedom playback, making use of multiple simultaneous and synchronized Higher Order Ambisonics (HOA) recordings. Such strategy enables users to navigate a simulated 3D space and listen to the six-degrees-of-freedom recordings from different perspectives. Additionally, during this workshop we will describe challenges related to creating a Unity based navigable 3D audiovisual playback system.
