The role of the VOX Audio Server is to perform for audio what current state-of-the-art window servers (such as the X Window System server) have done for graphics. VOX provides integrated access to and control of voice, audio, and telephony capabilities. It provides for the dynamic configuration of audio devices and their sharing between multiple applications. The server will provide a rapid pro...

This paper describes a software architecture solution for rendering audio and haptic sensation. By most of existing 3D sound systems, it is difficult to generate appropriate sounds from virtual objects, depending on the material used and the location of the impact. We developed a method that we named AudioHaptics to generate audio and haptic sensation based on a physical model of the virtual ob...

Multimedia information and embedded systems are two major technological advances that have significantly changed the way people interact with systems and information in recent years. In this context, audio proves to be the most advantageous media for interacting with embedded systems and their content. Advantages include: hands-free operation; unattended interaction; and simple, cheap devices f...

Biodiversity monitoring using audio recordings is achievable at a truly global scale via large-scale deployment of inexpensive, unattended recording stations or by large-scale crowdsourcing using recording and species recognition on mobile devices. The ability, however, to reliably identify vocalising animal species is limited by the fact that acoustic signatures of interest in such recordings ...

When designing interaction techniques for mobile devices we must ensure users are able to safely navigate through their physical environment while interacting with their mobile device. Non-speech audio has proven effective at improving interaction on mobile devices by allowing users to maintain visual focus on environmental navigation while presenting information to them via their audio channel...

Data hiding in audio signal enables acoustic data transmission by playing back the data-embedded audio and by recording the signal and extracting the data at receiver like mobile devices. In our previous work, we proposed an audio data hiding system for acoustic data transmission, of which the audio quality and transmission performance are suitable, based on phase modification of the modulated ...
