Audio Legends: Investigating Sonic Interaction in an Augmented Reality Audio Game

Audio augmented reality in telecommunication

Telecommunication systems have evolved to allow users to communicate and interact over distance. Audio communication in its most natural form, the face-to-face conversation, is binaural. Current telecommunication systems often provide only monaural audio, stripping it of spatial cues and thus deteriorating listening comfort and speech intelligibility. In this work, the application of binaural a...

Audio-Only Augmented Reality System for Social Interaction

We explore new possibilities for interactive music consumption by proposing an audio-only augmented reality system for social interaction. We designed and built an Android application that measures the relative position of the device from freely moveable Bluetooth beacons. Based on this information, an algorithm dynamically changes the music that the users hear in their earphones. We assessed t...

Mobile Audio Designs Monkey: A Tool for Audio Augmented Reality

There are many audio design tools available that have filled some of a designers’ needs, but these all are designed with context-ignorant audio in mind. To develop audio for a context-aware environment, at present a designer must have technical skills that are unrelated to the design process. Whereas the designer should be focusing on the creativity, design, and the logic of the Augmented Reali...

Corona: Audio Augmented Reality in Historic Sites

Augmented reality is very well suited to convey information in the context of historic sites, as it is possible to integrate such systems in an unobtrusive manner. In this paper we present Corona, an audio augmented reality experience deployed in the historic town hall of Aachen/Germany. We describe the auralization process and the technology used and give an outlook on interesting research que...
