THEME: “Sonification // Spatialization”
This year’s theme is Sonification // Spatialization, a blending of ICAD’s expertise in sonification with EMPAC’s expertise in spatialized audio. Spatialization offers sonification additional dimensions for conveying information. EMPAC’s state-of-the-art spatial audio systems include a 512-channel wave field synthesis array with the highest spatial aliasing frequency in the world and multiple permanently installed fourth-order ambisonic arrays. The conference will host a special session on spatialization in sonification as well as demonstrations of some of EMPAC’s systems and capabilities over the course of the week.

ABOUT ICAD:
First held in 1992, ICAD is a highly interdisciplinary conference with relevance to researchers, practitioners, artists, and graduate students working with sound to convey and explore information. The conference is unique in its specific focus on auditory displays and the range of interdisciplinary issues related to their use. Like its predecessors, ICAD 2024 will be a single-track conference, open to all, with no membership or affiliation requirements.
