The first artificial reverberation algorithms were proposed in the early 1960s, and new,
improved algorithms are published regularly. These algorithms have been widely used in …

Embodiments related to efficiently constructing an augmented reality environment with
global illumination effects are disclosed. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides …

Convincing audio for games and virtual reality requires modeling directional propagation
effects. The initial sound's arrival direction is particularly salient and derives from multiply …

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 an approach to generate plausible acoustic effects at interactive rates in large
dynamic environments containing many sound sources. Our formulation combines listener …

We present a method for real-time sound propagation that captures all wave effects,
including diffraction and reverberation, for multiple moving sources and a moving listener in …

We present a novel approach for wave-based sound propagation suitable for large, open
spaces spanning hundreds of meters, with a small memory footprint. The scene is …

The acoustic wave field in a complex scene is a chaotic 7D function of time and the positions
of source and listener, making it difficult to compress and interpolate. This hampers …

Although 360° cameras ease the capture of panoramic footage, it remains challenging to
add realistic 360° audio that blends into the captured scene and is synchronized with the …
