Exploring the PotentiAl of Immersive VirtUal ReALity for Experiencing Archaeological Soundscapes

PNRR M4C2: Dalla RICERCA all’IMPRESA


Acronym: AURAL

Description

This project aims to explore the sonic features of archaeological spaces and how ancient cultures experienced sonic environment, enabling us to assess changes of geophony, biophony and anthrophony in the past. By using a new generation of immersive audio technology, the AURAL project also aims to predict the ever-changing soundscapes and the impact of climate changes on sonic environment. In order to complete this study, the project will establish a new line of research at the crossroads of digital heritage, sound studies, and historical landscape, by using digital technologies in acoustics and in sound signal processing design capable to explore sonic heritage environment and ecosystem.
