- Additional information
- Factual information about significance: A new spatial audio concept is introduced, that potentially will make domestic spatial audio available to millions more people, and that represents a paradigm shift from previous thinking. The world's first system centred on this concept is designed and implemented, making use of novel object-based audio metadata and rendering. Listener responses to hearing the system (collected, visualised, and processed using established thematic analysis techniques) show that it provides an enhanced listening experience, with increased immersion, compared to traditional two-channel stereo. The system has been showcased with original content on the BBC's 'Taster' website. https://www.bbc.co.uk/taster/pilots/vostok
