Sound localization is the process by which we can determine the origin of a sound.
Humans and animals use various clues, such as time delays and intensity differences between the ears,
to identify the direction of a sound. These techniques have been adopted in modern technology, to create immersive sound environment, and a more realistic connection between amplified and unamplified voice.
Since 2008, The Royal Danish Theatre has been utilizing various tracking systems to enhance their productions, creating invisible and transparent amplification of the actors. This presentation delves into the principles behind sound tracking and localization and how we have approached it at the Theater.
