Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Spatial audio has gained a lot of attention in recent years, given the emergence of immersive environments and eXtended Reality. This has opened new possibilities in sound design while fueling rapid developments in the fields of the 3D acoustic modeling of spaces, spatial audio encoding and distribution, and challenges in playback, which also involve human perception. New recording techniques are being introduced, extending the established knowledge on microphone arrays. Moreover, sound source localization is evolving, not only for creative purposes and sound design, but also for industrial and other applications, like underwater acoustics. The simultaneous rise of deep learning unlocks new possibilities in the deployment of data-driven approaches to the management and extraction of information from multichannel spatial audio information volumes. New publicly available benchmark datasets help to further advance this field in the near future. This Special Issue calls on encouraging researchers to contribute to the above and similar topics around spatial audio through original research articles and review papers.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
