#017 Dr. Iain McGregor: Why hearing means feeling–designing sound for the real world

Dr Iain McGregor is an Associate Professor at Edinburgh Napier University, specialising in interactive media design and auditory perception research. His PhD in soundscape mapping examined how sound designers' expectations compare with listeners' experiences.  With over 30 years of experience, he has worked across film, video games, theatre, radio, television, mixed reality, robotics, and auditory displays, exploring soundscapes, sonification, and human interaction. His patent Evaluation of Auditory Capabilities (WO2024041821A1) informs accessibility, user experience design, and auditory technologies. His research extends to human-robot interaction, and he currently consults for companies in mixed reality and robotics, shaping advanced auditory interfaces.
