A software-based system for interactive spatial sound synthesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses development issues for a software-based, real-time virtual audio rendering system, Sound Lab (SLAB), designed to work in the personal computer environment using a standard signal-processing library. The system, which is being developed as a tool for the study of spatial hearing, takes advantage of the low-cost PC platform while providing a flexible, maintainable, and extensible architecture to enable the quick development of experiments. The current capabilities and dynamic behavior of the SLAB system are described.

Interactive Swarm Orchestra
The project Interactive Swarm Orchestra (ISO) employs flocking algorithms to control computer sound synthesis and 3D sound positioning. Synthesis, positioning and movement of several simultaneous sound events are modeled according to swarm behavior. Camera-based tracking allows visitors to interact with this acoustic flock and thereby change its spatial distribution and synthesis properties. Th...

متن کاملSmart-i: “spatial Multi-user Audio-visual Real-time Interactive Interface”, a Broadcast Application Context
SMART-I is a high quality 3D audio-visual interactive rendering system. In SMART-I, the screen is also used as a multichannel loudspeaker. The spatial audio rendering is based on Wave Field Synthesis, an approach that creates a coherent spatial perception of a spatial sound scene over a large listening area. The azimuth localization accuracy of the system has been verified by a perceptual exper...
