SOUNDS ETN

The SOUNDS European Training Network (ETN) revolves around a new and promising paradigm coined as Service-Oriented, Ubiquitous, Network-Driven Sound. Inspired by the ubiquity of mobile and wearable devices capable of capturing, processing, and reproducing sound, the SOUNDS ETN aims to bring audio technology to a new level by exploiting network-enabled cooperation between devices. The Internet-of Things (IoT) has created numerous opportunities for audio technology by allowing devices to mutually connect and establish ad-hoc networks. However, it has also led to a technology gap, in that IoT-connected audio devices could achieve much more than simply streaming audio from one device to the other.
