Diffraction Culling for Virtual-Acoustic Simulations
Acta Acustica united with Acustica, 2008Acoustic simulations of complex virtual environments typically are created with geometrical-acoustics techniques. Such simulations can be augmented with edge diffraction modeling for improved accuracy, but not without a significant increase in processing time due to the additional propagation paths which must be considered and the computational ...

The technology for creating an Acoustic Virtual Reality for wide variety of applications has been developed in the last decade. An important requirement of Virtual Reality is the multimodal approach which includes vision, sound, tactile and haptic stimuli. The process of creating a physical stimulus based on computer data is called “rendering”.

The VL1 virtual acoustic synthesizer
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1996McIntyre et al. [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. (1983)] suggested the idea of constructing electrical musical instruments based on physical models of natural musical instruments. The first product employing such an approach has been developed, the VL1, and the synthesis technique is called ‘‘virtual acoustic synthesis.’’ Differences and comparisons between ...

Model-based virtual room acoustics
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2001A new procedure for evaluating the impulse response between source and receiver locations in small reverberant rooms is outlined. The modified image method uses the solution of the Laplace transform based formulation for the Sommerfeld integral to determine the strength of image sources and boundary reflections.

Acoustic Virtual Training for the Blind
Acoustic Ecology Review, 2023Individuals who are blind or visually impaired learn to rely on their sense of hearing to compensate for their lack of vision.Learn- ing to“see” using the ears is difficult, and requires considerable time and experience. Fortunately, training programs for the blind, referred to as Orientation and Mobility (OM), have been widely implemented at ...

Acoustic Virtual Reality Systems
2020Virtual reality (VR) is a computer-generated environment for interaction in real time. One important feature of VR is the multimodality of the human-computer interface. Most VR systems were initially developed for 3D vision. In order to achieve the presence and immersion of the user, VR is not complete without the acoustic and haptic dimensions (and ...

Assessing the Plausibility of Virtual Acoustic Environments
Acta Acustica united with Acustica, 2012Aiming at the perceptual evaluation of virtual acoustic environments (VAEs), ‘plausibility’ is introduced as a quality criterion that can be of value for many applications of virtual realities. We suggest a definition as well as an experimental operationalization for plausibility, referring to the perceived agreement with the listener’s expectation ...

Neutral coding of virtual acoustic space
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1992The spectrum of a free-field sound source is transformed by the head, pinna, and ear canal before reaching the eardrum. Prominent spectral features in the free-field to eardrum transfer function (FETF) vary systematically with changes in sound-source direction.

Acoustic Modality in Virtual Reality
2013Sound enhances the sense of realism in the virtual world, gives additional information about the environment, for example engine speed in flight simulators. By means of sonification the information is presented in the form of an abstract sound. Unlike vision, it is not limited to the direction of view, but is present regardless of head orientation.

Vocal fatigue in virtual acoustics scenarios
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017The overuse of the voice by professional voice users, such as teachers, is known to cause physiological vocal fatigue. Vocal fatigue is used to denote negative vocal adaptation that occurs as a consequence of prolonged voice use or vocal load. This study investigates how self-reported vocal fatigue is related to voice parameters (sound pressure level ...
