Our environment is filled with rich and dynamic acoustic information. When we walk into a
cathedral, the reverberations as much as appearance inform us of the sanctuary's wide open …

Room impulse response (RIR) functions capture how the surrounding physical environment
transforms the sounds heard by a listener, with implications for various applications in AR …

The spatial acoustic information of a scene, ie, how sounds emitted from a particular location
in the scene are perceived in another location, is key for immersive scene modeling. Robust …

This book gives a broad overview of research on sound simulation driven by a variety of
applications. Vibrating objects produce sound, which then propagates through a medium …

We present novel algorithms for modeling interactive diffuse reflections and higher-order
diffraction in large-scale virtual environments. Our formulation is based on ray-based sound …

We present a novel spatial audio rendering technique to handle sound sources that can be
represented by either an area or a volume in VR environments. As opposed to point …

People often use audio-only communication to connect with others. Spatialization of audio
has been previously found to improve immersion, presence, and social presence during …

We present an interactive wave-based sound propagation system that generates accurate,
realistic sound in virtual environments for dynamic (moving) sources and listeners. We …

Mechanical manufacturing processes and their production machinery are noisy. The noise
always stems from transient forces that excite the structure to vibrations, emitting sound …

The Boundary Element Method (BEM) is a proven numerical prediction tool for computation
of room acoustic transfer functions, as are required for auralization of a virtual space. In this …
