Σχεδιασμός Χωρικού Ήχου σε Πραγματικό Χρόνο στη Λογοθεραπεία.

For decades, the acoustic environment in speech and language therapy has largely been treated as a neutral condition — a passive background surrounding communication.

My work emerged from a fundamentally different question: What happens when the acoustic field itself becomes intentionally designed?

Rather than using sound exclusively as information, amplification, or feedback correction, I began exploring whether the spatial and temporal properties of sound could actively influence auditory attention, speech timing, perceptual organization, and the overall functional state of the listener during therapy sessions.

This exploration culminated in the development of a real-time stereophonic 3D sound and speech processing approach applied within clinical speech therapy environments. The system does not aim to create cinematic immersion or audio effects in the conventional production sense; instead, spatial audio parameters are explored as dynamic variables capable of shaping the precise auditory conditions under which speech perception and production occur.

This perspective evolved into what I describe as the “Virtual Acoustic Field” (VAF).
