20 May 2019 --- New International Organization for Standardization (ISO) guidelines for defining, measuring and evaluating soundscapes are a big step forward in guiding the creation of soundscape design in restaurants, according to acoustics consultant Klaus Genuit, President and Founder of German sound engineering firm Head Acoustics. For the first time, the new ISO standards include the required recording and assessment of binaural sounds as part of dining room evaluation. Unlike a mono or stereo recording, a binaural recording is an immersive, 3D version that recreates the exact experience of being in a particular setting for future listeners.
