Title: Sonic interaction design and multisensory experiences

Abstract: 

Immersive audio can become a central component of future human–computer interaction. In this talk I will show how sound is not merely an output modality but a core element shaping multisensory perception, interaction, and accessibility in extended reality (XR). Drawing on research from the Multisensory Experience Lab—including spatial audio design, personalized HRTF modelling, VR for hearing health, and multisensory interaction design—I illustrate how immersive audio can transform how people engage with virtual environments. By bridging sonic interaction design and multisensory experiences, this work points toward a future of more inclusive, perceptually aware, and human-centered immersive systems.
