El sonido envolvente en entornos audiovisuales inmersivos. Propuestas en el ámbito educativo

Abstract

Immersive communication environ-ments have recently erupted in the social scene with a remarkable level of public acceptance, especially in the world of performing arts and enter-tainment. The aim in these systems is to provide verisimilitude to the artificial stimulus in order to suggest a series of sensations the viewer associated with the visual drama of the narrative. Communication profession-als have exploited the benefits of the sense of sight by various techniques in pursuit of a high sensory impact. Some of their proposals have been implemented timidly in the field of education, especially in higher education stage. However, being humans multisensory receivers, their assessment from a stimulus is based on a combined interpretation of various weighted stimuli, not just the visual sense. However, the trend in immer-sive media proposals is not to consider the other senses with sufficient entity, including the ear, which importance in communication is extraordinary. In this article, the authors present an overview of current and future immersive surround sound systems, conducting a series of proposals in the field of immersive education aimed at improving the teaching-learning process
