چکیده

We describe a software system which enables computergenerated soundscapes to be synthesised, spatialised and edited using a gestural interface. Iterative design and testing of the software interface has taken place in a walk-in, immersive, virtual-reality theatre. Sound spatialisation has been implemented for an 8-speaker array using a Vector Base Amplitude Planning algorithm. The software has been written in Java, JSyn and Java3D with native method calls to sound-cards and sensors.

Images as Spatial Sound Maps

The tools for spatial composition typically model just a small subset of the spatial audio cues known to researchers. As composers explore this medium it has become evident that the nature of spatial sound perception is complex. Yet interfaces for spatial composition are often simplistic and the end results can be disappointing. This paper presents an interface that is designed to liberate the ...

Using Dynamic Soundscapes to Support Visual Data Mining in VR

Data Mining in Virtual Reality (VR) has, for good reasons, been focused on facilitating visual inspection and analysis. As the amount and complexity of data is overwhelming, it is worthwhile to consider a further exploration of the human perceptual faculties, and it seems natural to consider sound as a possible perceptual cue. Current technology enables us to create advanced real-time 3D sounds...

4dive - a 4d Interface for the Visualization of Construction Processes in a Virtual Environment

In this paper we present 4DIVE, an interface concept for the visualization of construction processes in Virtual Reality (VR). It supports process management tasks of the AEC industry in the field of Virtual Design and Construction (VDC). 4DIVE is developed for the use in projection based Virtual Environments (VEs) like the CAVE or large scale projection walls, supporting stereoscopic visualizat...

Determining the desirability of the soundscapes of the Timchehs of Tabriz Bazaar based on objective and subjective assessments

In the present study, in order to explain the desirability of the soundscapes of the Timchehs of Tabriz Bazaar, Sound Pressure Level (SPL) and Reverberation Time (RT) have been measured as objective variables of acoustic behavior. Using descriptive questionnaire, subjective assessments were used to determine the quality of soundscape. The research seeks to answer the question of how the spatial...

Natural Language in Four Spatial Interfaces

We describe our experiences building spoken language interfaces to four demonstration applications all involving 2or 3-D spatial displays or gestural interactions: an air combat command and control simulation, an immersive VR tactical scenario viewer, a map-based air strike simulation tool with cartographic database, and a speech/gesture controller for mobile robots.
