How classroom acoustics influence students and teachers: A systematic literature review
Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2021 Acoustics in schools have been studied during years, but nowadays there are more possibilities than ever before to introduce improvements. This study presents a systematic literature review determining what acoustic parameters are present in classrooms ...

Binaural Auralization of Room Acoustics with a Highly Scalable Wave-Based Acoustics Simulation
Applied Sciences, 2023 This paper presents a proposal of an efficient binaural room-acoustics auralization method, an essential goal of room-acoustics modeling. The method uses a massively parallel wave-based room-acoustics solver based on a dispersion-optimized explicit time ...

Frontiers for Young Minds, 2022 In this article we will study sound—specifically, how sound allows us to communicate in a classroom and how we can improve that communication. You will learn how sound is measured and how people called acoustics engineers help architects and designers to make sure classrooms are not too noisy—or too quiet.

The Building That Teaches: Exploring Augmented Reality Affordances in Academic Incubators
Journal of Interior Design, EarlyView., 2022 ABSTRACT Efforts to enhance the experience of interior environments have led to experimentation with augmented reality (AR) technology to encourage users to participate in the built space using their mobile devices. To investigate the role of AR technologies in interior design experiences, we highlight the interdisciplinary design of a mobile AR ...
