From October 8th to 11th, Professor Sungyoung Kim, along with students Rai Sato, Jongho Lee, and Sungjoon Kim, attended the 157th Audio Engineering Society (AES) Convention, held in New York City, United States. Established in 1948, the AES is the premier international professional organization dedicated solely to audio technology. It unites audio engineers, creative artists, scientists, and students globally to foster advancements in audio and share new knowledge and research.
Our laboratory presented the following three research papers:
“Investigating the Role of Customized Interaural Time Differences on First-Person Shooter Gaming Performance”
Authors : Sungjoon Kim, Rai Sato, Pooseung Koh, Kiyoung Lee, Sungyoung Kim.
“Quantitative Assessment of Acoustical Attributes and Listener Preferences in Binaural Renderers with Head-Tracking Function”
Authors : Rai Sato, Palavat Komkris, Sungjoon Kim, Yiduen Park, Sungyoung Kim.
“Unveiling the Impact of K-Pop Song Lyrics on Adolescent Self-Harm Rates: A Pilot Study of Gender Disparities”
Authors : Jongho Lee, Yideun Park, Sungjoon Kim, Hyejin Kim, Sunjae Jung, Sungyoung Kim.
Following the AES conference, we participated in a SONY tech demo session at Battery Studio, New York. During this session, SONY created personalized audio profiles by recording the unique sound characteristics of each participant’s ears. Using these profiles, they demonstrated their 360 Virtual Mixing Environment (VME), allowing participants to experience various music genres in a high-quality studio setting through headphones—with less perceptible difference from traditional studio listening.
The participation and research contributions at AES New York 2024 highlight our laboratory’s dedication to advancing the field of audio engineering. This event showcased the dynamic exchange of ideas and collaborative spirit that drive innovation in this continually evolving field.
