Abstract
The goal of AKG’s engagement in the AUSTROMIR mission was to make use of AKG’s know-how in acoustic communications technology to improve future communication systems for space travel. The project AUDIMIR offered the opportunity to make a first step in that direction. The primary topic was the so-called binaural technology for headphone reproduction, which was intended to demonstrate its usefulness for space travel. During the definition of the experiment, however, the technology turned out to open up new possibilities for medical research.
