Testing Methods of Subjective Parameters for Spatial Audio with Head Tracking

Design of new subjective tests for spatial audio with head tracking and a supporting test application.

  • Sound and speech classification

The project studies current methods for subjective evaluation of spatial audio with head tracking. The student will analyze their limitations, propose new test procedures, and prepare a software application for verification through real subjective tests.

The scope can be adapted to the student’s experience and extended into a bachelor’s or master’s thesis.

Requirements

  1. Review subjective evaluation methods for spatial audio.
  2. Identify limitations of current procedures for head-tracked systems.
  3. Design a methodology and schedule for new tests.
  4. Implement a supporting test application.
  5. Validate the proposed procedure through a demonstration subjective test.
