<span style="color:black">I am looking for volunteers to participate in a 3D audio listening test running between 18<sup>th</sup><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>August – 1<sup>st</sup><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>September. 3D audio
loudspeaker systems can create the illusion of sound anywhere around you, and can use specialist head tracking to adapt the audio depending on what direction you look in. As part of my PhD research, we have developed a new approach to achieve this, which as
part of this test you will get to listen to and rank alongside other state of the art 3D audio sound systems. The tests will also be performed in our large anechoic chamber, a specialist soundproofed and non-reverberant room. The experiment will only take
approximately an hour and a half.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
