Published: Dec. 23, 2021, 2:52 p.m.

b'In this episode of the Immersive Audio Podcast, Oliver Kadel and Monica Bolles are joined by the director of the Applied Psychoacoustics Laboratory at the University of Huddersfield \\u2013 Hyunkook Lee.\\n\\nDr Hyunkook Lee is a Reader (i.e., Associate Professor) in Music Technology and the Director of the Applied Psychoacoustics Laboratory, University of Huddersfield, U.K. His research over the last 10 years contributed to advancing the understanding of three-dimensional (3D) audio perception and developing new 3D capture and reproduction techniques. He has invented various psychoacoustics-based 3D microphone arrays including PCMA-3D and ESMA-3D, whose principle for height microphone configuration has been adopted for Schoep\\u2019s award-winning ORTF-3D array. Recently, he has been focusing on researching and developing perceptually optimised techniques of 6DoF audio rendering for extended reality applications. He is also currently leading a multidisciplinary project that connects immersive arts and technologies. From 2006 to 2010, he was a Senior Research Engineer in audio R&D with LG Electronics, South Korea, where he participated in the standardisations of MPEG audio codecs and developed spatial audio algorithms for mobile devices. He is an Associate Technical Editor of the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society (AES). He co-edited a recently published book \\u201c3D Audio\\u201d (Routledge). Hyunkook is a Fellow of the AES, Vice-Chair of the AES High-Resolution Audio Technical Committee, and has recently been elected as a Governor of the AES for 2022-2023. Dr Lee received a B. Mus (Hons) degree in music and sound recording (Tonmeister) from the University of Surrey, U.K., in 2002 and a PhD in spatial audio psychoacoustics from the Institute of Sound Recording (IoSR), the University of Surrey in 2006.\\n\\nIn this episode, we discuss Hyunkook\\u2019s recent research on \\u201cA Conceptual Model of Immersive Experience in Extended Reality\\u201d and its influence on spatial audio.\\n\\nThis episode was produced by Oliver Kadel and Emma Rees and included music by Rhythm Scott.\\n\\nFor extended show notes and more information on this episode go to https://www.1618digital.com/immersive-audio-podcast-episode-59-hyunkook-lee-a-conceptual-model-of-immersive-experience-in-extended-reality/\\n\\nIf you enjoy the podcast and would like to show your support please consider becoming a Patreon.
