چکیده
A real-time virtual audio reality model has been created. The system includes model-based sound synthesizers, geometrical room acoustics modeling, binaural auralization for headphone or loudspeaker listening, and hiqh-quality animation. This paper discusses the following subsystems of the designed environment: The implementation of the audio processing softand hardware, and the design of a dedicated multiprocessor DSP hardware platform. The design goal of the overall project has been to create a virtual musical event that is authentic both in terms of audio and visual quality. Novelties of this system include a real-time image-source algorithm for rooms of arbitrary shape, shorter HRTF filter approximations for more efficient auralization, and a network-based distributed implementation of the audio processing softand hardware.

متن کاملImplementation of a Virtual Audio Reality System
Virtual audio reality environments have in recent years become popular in such fields as computer music, acoustics, multimedia, and telecommunications [1]. There are often computational constraints that lead to very simplified systems that faintly resemble the physical reality. We present a distributed expandable virtual audio reality system that can accurately yet efficiently model room acoust...

At ICAD'96, a real-time virtual audio reality model was presented, which included model-based sound synthesizers, geometric room acoustics modeling, binaural auralization for headphone and loudspeaker listening, and high-quality animation. The DIVA environment is an integrated implementation of a virtual reality system currently aiming at a virtual symphony orchestra performance. In the current...
متن کاملMagnitude-complementary Filters for Dynamic Equalization
Discrete-time structures of first-order and second-order equalization filters are proposed. They turn to be particularly useful in applications where the equalization parameters are dynamically varied, such as in contexts of audio virtual reality. In fact, their design allows a simplified and more direct control of the filter coefficients, at the cost of some more computation cycles that are re...
متن کاملThe Actor - Spectator - Producer Pattern
A virtual environment is a computer-generated world accessible to a (human) user through input/output devices. It is similar to a traditional simulation but with an emphasis on threedimensional graphics, immersion and real-time interaction. A distributed virtual environment has several participants interacting simultaneously with the virtual world. An example application would be a surgical tra...
