Personalized Auditory Reality

In this work, we introduce Personalized Auditory Realities, a new research field that investigates methods for the manipulation of acoustic surroundings. Within such an auditory reality, users would be able to freely modify their acoustic scene by enhancing relevant sounds, suppressing irrelevant ones, or adding new ones. The perceived acoustic environment will follow the paradigm of augmented realities where real sounds are combined with added sound sources.
