Recent Developments in Slab: a Software-based System for Interactive Spatial Sound Synthesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper provides an update on the features of SLAB, a software-based real-time virtual acoustic environment (VAE) rendering system designed for use in the personal computer environment. SLAB is being developed as a tool for the study of spatial hearing. The SLAB software is being released to the research community under a free-public license for non-commercial use. It is our hope that researchers will find it useful in conducting research in advanced auditory displays and will also add their own extensions to the software to provide additional functionality. Further information about the software can be found at: http://human-factors.arc.nasa.gov/SLAB.

A software-based system for interactive spatial sound synthesis
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 extens...
متن کاملCyclical Flow: Spatial synthesis sound toy as multichannel Composition Tool
This paper outlines and discusses an interactive system designed as a playful ‘sound toy’ for spatial composition. Proposed models of composition and design in this context are discussed. The design, functionality and application of the software system is then outlined and summarised. The paper concludes with observations from use, and discussion of future developments.
متن کاملInteractive 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...
