- Digital Acoustical Twins: Virtual Paths to Notre-Dame
This talk addresses a fundamental query: How do we transport ourselves beyond the confines of a laboratory and into historical settings? Picture yourself in an ancient cathedral or immersed in the ambience of a bygone Parisian theatre. Through three compelling research endeavours focused on renowned locales such as Notre-Dame, a Parisian theatre, and the Louvre Museum, we explore the transformative potential of Virtual Reality (VR) in recreating authentic historical auditive immersive experiences. Our discussion encompasses various technical aspects including acoustic simulation, architectural visualization, archaeoacoustics, spatial sound, virtual avatars, crowd auralization, 360-degree videos, digital twins, and ecological validity.
About the speakers:
Brian F.G. Katz is CNRS Research Director at the Sorbonne Université, Institut ∂'Alembert, in the group Lutheries - Acoustics - Music. His fields of interest include spatial 3D audio rendering and perception, room acoustics, HCI, and virtual reality. With a background in physics and philosophy, he obtained his Ph.D. in acoustics from Penn State in 1998 and his HDR in engineering sciences from UMPC in 2011. Before joining CNRS, he worked for various acoustic consulting firms, including Artec Consultants Inc., ARUP & Partners, and Kahle Acoustics. He has also worked at the Laboratoire d'Acoustique Musical (UPMC), IRCAM, and LIMSI-CNRS.
David Poirier-Quinot is a researcher, presently focused on sound spatialisation, perception, and room acoustics simulation for virtual and augmented realities. He studied these fields along with signal processing and computer sciences at the Institute ∂'Alembert, Imperial College London, IRCAM, LIMSI-CNRS, and ETIS labs. With a background in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, he obtained an M. Eng. in signal processing and telecommunications from the ENSEA graduate school of Electrical Engineering, France, in 2011, and received a Ph.D. degree in acoustics, signal processing, and computer science from Sorbonne Université, Paris VI, France, in May 2015.
