Direction-Aware Neural Acoustic Fields for Few-Shot Interpolation of Ambisonic Impulse Responses

Christopher Ick, Gordon Wichern, Yoshiki Masuyama +2

The characteristics of a sound field are intrinsically linked to the geometric and spatial properties of the environment surrounding a sound source and a listener. The physics of s…
