ImmersAV Technology™ Creating an Immersive Audio Visual Experience for Consumer and Professional Entertainment, Informational and Educational Applications.
The next meeting of the Chicago section of the Audio Engineering Society will be held 7:30pm Tuesday January 26th 2010, at Shure Incorporated in Niles. Members and non-members are welcome.
This month Bob Schulein will give a presentation on ImmersAV Technology™.
ImmersAV Technology™ is a group of audio and video techniques for creating recordings that are true to an original performance, visually stimulating and sonically accurate regarding tonality, directionality, and dynamic range. ImmersAV Technology is a process capable of creating a personal entertainment educational or promotional point of view experience based on the synergy of sight and sound. ImmersAV recordings are created using patent pending binaural audio technology and High Definition video processes. Programs produced using ImmersAV Technology require no special playback equipment. By selecting from the wide variety of consumer audio and video playback technology, individuals can set their own level of reproduction quality.
Bob will present the technology and artistic motivation behind this process as well as play a variety of recorded examples. In addition, a live performance will be recorded and played back featuring a group of professional classical musicians from the Chicago-based Fifth House Ensemble. Demonstrations will be presented using High Definition video and individual headphones. If you wish to bring your favorite headphones or earphones with a 1/8” stereo plug, please do so. For those not bringing headphones, units will be provided.
