3D sound spatialization with game engines: the virtual acoustics performance of a game engine and a middleware for interactive audio design

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

3d Game Engines as a New Reality

Three-Dimensional (3D) Game Engines are large and complex, but very efficient at creating huge, artificial worlds for entertainment. As they mature, they improve and mimic the real world ever more realistically than competing Virtual Reality (VR) systems. In the present paper, we describe the key components that form a modern 3D Game Engine such as the ‘Source’ or ‘Quake III’ engines (by Valve ...

Efficient Description and Rendering of Complex Interactive Acoustic Scenes

Interactive environmental audio spatialization technology has become commonplace in personal computers and is migrating into portable entertainment platforms (including cell phones) and multiplayer game servers (virtual online worlds). While the primary current application of this technology is 3D game sound track rendering, it is ultimately necessary in the implementation of any personal or sh...

Utilizing a 3d Game Engine to Develop a Virtual Design Review System

A design review process is where information is exchanged between the designers and design reviewers to resolve any potential design related issues, and to ensure that the interests and goals of the owner are met. The effective execution of design review will minimize potential errors or conflicts, reduce the time for review, shorten the project life-cycle, allow for earlier occupancy, and ulti...
