The International Workshop on Acoustic Signal Enhancement was established in 1993, as the International Workshop on Acoustic Echo and Noise Control, (IWAENC) and is the leading workshop in the signal processing community. The scientific and the industrial interest in acoustic echo and noise control has grown tremendously since the first workshop in 1989. Each subsequent workshop has contributed to the process of developing better and better hardware for modelling an electroacoustic system in an economically feasible way and designing adequate models and algorithms which then need to be investigated.\r\n\r\nMicrosoft was a Silver sponsor and proud to have two researchers attend, one of whom gave a keynote talk at IWAENC.\r\n<h2>Microsoft Research\u00a0attendees<\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/people\/ivantash\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ivan Tashev<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/people\/hagamper\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hannes Gamper<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>Accepted papers<\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>\"Synthesis of Device-Independent Noise Corpora for Speech Quality Assessment\" by Hannes Gamper, Lyle Corbin, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/people\/davidjo\/\" target=\"_blank\">David Johnston<\/a>, and Ivan Tashev<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>Keynote Talks<\/h2>\r\n\u201cAudio Challenges in Virtual and Augmented Reality Devices\u201d by Dr. Ivan Tashev\r\n\r\n<strong>Abstract:<\/strong> Virtual and augmented reality devices are a hot topic for research and product development. In most of the cases these devices come in the form of head mounted displays. Integral part of these devices are several audio subsystems: spatial audio rendering, capture of the user\u2019s voice and capturing the environmental audio. Unlike the vision, where humans have approximately 90\u00b0 field of view, human hearing covers all directions in all three dimensions. This means that the spatial audio system of these devices is expected to provide realistic rendering of sound objects in full 3D to complement the stereo rendering of the visual objects.\r\n\r\nIn this talk will be discussed the problems and potential solutions around the spatial audio subsystem in the devices for virtual and augmented reality. These include the Head-Related Transfer Functions personalization, generation of the proper reverberation and distance cues. Most of the problems and solutions have broader scope and affect everyday scenarios such as listening to stereo music with headphones and watching movies on mobile devices."}],"msr_startdate":"2016-09-13","msr_enddate":"2016-09-16","msr_event_time":"","msr_location":"Xi\u2019an, China","msr_event_link":"","msr_event_recording_link":"","msr_startdate_formatted":"September 13, 2016","msr_register_text":"Watch now","msr_cta_link":"","msr_cta_text":"","msr_cta_bi_name":"","featured_image_thumbnail":null,"event_excerpt":"We are excited to have been a part of the 15th International Workshop on Acoustic Signal Enhancement (IWAENC) in Xi\u2019an, China, on September 13-16, 2016.
