CoSTAR Live Lab Presents: Phil Coleman (L-Acoustics)

Event details

CoSTAR Live Lab event

CoSTAR Live Lab is a brand new R&D facility based at Production Park near Wakefield. Live Lab is part of the £75m government-funded CoSTAR Network, and supports innovation in immersive, multisensory and interactive technologies to transform audience experience, shaping next-generation live experiences for screen, stage and into the metaverse.

CoSTAR Live Lab is excited to welcome Dr Phil Coleman for an exciting public talk exploring the innovative L-ISA technology by L-Acoustics, which we have as part of our facilities.

L-ISA technology by L-Acoustics uses object-based immersive audio to create a deep connection between artists and audiences. For creatives and engineers, the L-ISA workflow allows flexible spatial content production that scales seamlessly from a home studio to an arena show. For audiences, integrated immersive reproduction and acoustic enhancement creates a strong connection to the artist and their music. In his talk, we will introduce L-ISA and explain how our research and technology helps to connect artists and audiences. There will be opportunities after the talk to hear L-ISA in action.

Phil is Senior Immersive Audio Research Engineer at L-Acoustics. His research includes the engineering and perception of active acoustics systems and the influence of room acoustics on electroacoustic system design. Previously, he spent over a decade in academic research and teaching at the University of Surrey.

Phil’s talk will take place on the 11th of June between 14:00-15:00. The talk is open to in-person attendees at Live Lab’s Production Park home, and will also be available as a live online video stream. After the talk, we invite in-person attendees to join us for networking from 3pm-4pm at Production Park’s CentR Stage Cafe. This will be an excellent opportunity to engage with our speakers, fellow attendees and to meet the CoSTAR Live Lab team.If you are attending in-person, we will require you to agree to the terms of Production Park's Confidentiality and Business Protection Agreement before we are able to welcome you on site.
