ULO will be in residence at SAT in summer 2021 to develop an immersive sound device adapted for a sound installation setup that will be presented at the Espace Pauline Julien in Trois-Rivières. The research will include the adaptation of a sound spatialization tool that integrates geometry in the space to evaluate and render interaction between visitors and the 360 audio, using SATIE (sound spatialization software) and machine learning tools. 

This residence is part of a SAT Metalab research activities, and more particularly in the activities of the following projects i) Collective Spontanee and Adaptive Immersion (ICSA 2019-2022) which aims to explore the design of immersive sound, visual and interactive environments in all types of locations, and ii) Volumetric Acoustics Simulation in VR / MR (SAV + R, 2019-2022). This residence will contribute significantly to SAT Metalab's work, through the implementation of a use case applied to our research results.

I am very grateful to the Quebec council for the arts for their generous support for this project.
