Rooms never heard: predicting sound and light before they are measured
Living Worlds predicted how real rooms sound in arrangements and positions nobody had measured, and how daylight falls on office desks on days nobody had read: met for a room never seen (20 of 20), four rooms never seen (4 of 4), sound beyond what was measured and daylight at the desk; not met in a second room.
Hearing a room before it is built
Spatial audio got a full international standard in 2025, wave-based simulation reached open datasets, and learned acoustic fields now predict how a room sounds from a handful of measurements. The open question is how far those predictions hold beyond what was measured, and how to show it.
