Award in the Student 3D Audio Production Competition (S3DAPC)
Bartłomiej Mróz, Ph.D. graduate of the Multimedia Systems Department,
received an honorable mention in the Student 3D Audio Production Competition
(S3DAPC) organized by the Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM) of
the University of the Arts in Graz (Austria). The awarded works of this year’s
- seventh - edition were presented as part of the
Tonmeistertagung congress
held on November 8-11 in Düsseldorf.
The awarded work is a recording of a musical piece by Jakub Neske titled
Deus Ex Machina, performed by the Academic Choir of Gdansk University of
Technology. In their evaluation of the recording, the judges emphasized the
clarity of the sound, as well as the interesting use of space, not only by
placing the choir around the listener but also by placing the voices at
different heights.
All the awarded works have been posted on the
competition website.
They can be listened to binaurally with headphones; the web player features
dynamic head tracking via a webcam and allows for 3 or 6 degrees of freedom,
providing a high level of immersion during listening.

Acknowledgements for Prof. Czyżewski from the Światło foundation
On the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the Światło (Light) Foundation in
Toruń, prof. Andrzej Czyzewski received thanks and a commemorative plaque for
the long-term cooperation of the Multimedia Systems Department team to create
technical solutions to support communication with people in coma. The result
of this cooperation is implemented devices, including CyberEye, as well as a
number of scientific publications. In recent years, the activities initiated
formerly as a result of cooperation between PG and the “Light” Foundation led
