Abstract

3D Tune-In is an EU-funded project with the primary aim of improving the quality of life of hearing aid users. This is an introductory paper outlining the project’s innovative approach to achieving this goal, namely via the 3D Tune-In Toolkit, and a suite of accompanying games and applications. The 3D Tune-In Toolkit is a flexible, cross-platform library of code and guidelines that gives traditional game and software developers access to high-quality sound spatialization algorithms. The accompanying suite of games and applications will then make thorough use of the 3D Tune-In toolkit in order to address the problem of the under-exploitation of advanced hearing aid features, among others.
