Abstract

This paper presents an Extended Reality Environment (XRE) for Immersive Networked Music Perfor-mances (INMP) called Immersive Room ExtensioN Environment (IRENE). The design of the IRENE-system includes a position-dependent visual and auditory representation of the users within a Virtual Room Exten-sion (VRE). Early reflections and diffuse reverberation of a shared virtual space are rendered to provide participants a sense of co-presence. A continuous transition between the real and the virtual space is achieved by the visual representation using projection screens, enabling a multi-user experience. Several audio-visual environments have been implemented and are presented. The IRENE-system enables a wide range of future investigations in the field of INMP regarding the objective and subjective benefits of musical Extended Reality (XR) with focus on immersive audio.
