Inizio messaggio inoltrato:Da: "in...@i3da2026.org" <in...@i3da2026.org>Oggetto: Call for papers I3DA VENICEData: 10 febbraio 2026 alle ore 15:33:55 CETDear Julian
Could you kindly circulate this amongst your students and contacts (also other universities) who may be interested?
Call for Papers - I3DA 2026, Venice, Italy — 19–22 November 2026.
The I3DA 2026 will take place at Palazzo Giustinian Lolin, the headquarters of the Fondazione Ugo e Olga Levi and the University of Warwick Venice Centre
We cordially invite you to submit your papers, posters and demos for the International Conference on Immersive and 3D Audio (I3DA 2026).
The International Conference on Immersive and 3D Audio (I3DA) is a leading international forum dedicated to immersive media and spatial audio research across cultural heritage, natural environments, and human perception. I3DA 2026 brings together audio engineers, acousticians, computer graphics researchers, architects, musicologists, digitalhumanists, and creative practitioners to explore immersive audio-visual environments, digital twins, soundscapes, and the reconstruction of historical and natural sonic worlds.
The conference I3DA 2026 is realized through collaboration with the Fondazione Ugo e Olga Levi and the University of Warwick Venice Centre.
