The aim of the CHIC project was to develop a tool for referencing sound objects in a virtual reality environment. By incorporating a room modelling and auralisation engine, an audio output is provided in ambisonic format. The aim is to assist storytellers in the creative process of editing video in 360 format, enabling the audio adjacent to the final product to be used as a support for the new paradigm of narratives in immersive formats.

Challenges Addressed:
The developments carried out within the scope of this project have made it possible, among other things:
- Simplification of the creative process in the use of spatialised sound to support a new narrative paradigm in immersive content;
- Provision of an integrated solution for room modelling, manipulation of sound objects and ambiosonic audio erata.
Practical Benefits for Society:
After CHIC was completed, several benefits were realised, such as:
- Compatibility with the popular Adobe Premiere video editing software, counteracting the scarcity of integrated solutions using this software for immersive audio generation;
- This innovative technology has given small and medium-sized audiovisual content producers the ability to produce immersive content, resulting in increased competitiveness in the sector.
