Contact information for the course (applies in this implementation):
Responsible teacher: Lauri Savioja, Department of Computer Science
Teaching Period (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
III – IV (Spring)
Learning Outcomes (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
After the course the student masters basic knowledge of spatial audio.
Content (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
Basics of room acoustics, room acoustic modeling, reverberation algorithms, spatial sound recording and reproduction, binaural audio.
Details on the course content (applies in this implementation):
The course consists of 8 lectures given by the professors and post-docs working on acoustics and audio signal processing. In addition, there will be one lecture presenting the programming assignments.
The main work on the course are the assignments, consisting of one literature study, and a programming assignment(s). The assignments start by introducing the Unity game engine and learning how to use it. In the second phase simple spatial audio tasks will be implemented using Unity.
Assessment Methods and Criteria (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
Examination and assignment(s).
Elaboration of the evaluation criteria and methods, and acquainting students with the evaluation (applies in this implementation):
There will be no examination!
All the assignments will be graded, and the final grade of the course will be a linear combination of the assignment grades. The programming assignments are done as pair-works whereas the literature study is done individually.
Workload (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
Lectures/demonstrations 28 h (4 h / week). Independent work 10 h (reading of material special assignment(s)).
Details on calculating the workload (applies in this implementation):
Workload:
- Lectures: 18 h
- Literature study: 27 h
- Programming assignments: 90h
