The new LVML AudioVisual Lab (AV Lab) offers a surround system for spatial audio-visual simulation of landscape scenarios. It enables students and researchers to investigate how auditory and visual impressions both shape our perception of the environment, through experimental analysis and innovative design approaches. Thereby it complements the infrastructure of the LVML, which was founded 2009 by the ILA Chair of Christophe Girot and the PLUS Chair of Adrienne Grêt-Regamey and is a competency centre for state-of-the-art landscape visualization and modelling.
