The Sounds of Physical Shapes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a general framework for the simulation of sounds produced by colliding physical objects in a virtual reality environment. The framework is based on the vibration dynamics of bodies. The computed sounds depend on the material of the body, its shape, and the location of the contact. This simulation of sounds allows the user to obtain important auditory clues about the objects in the simulation, as well as about the locations on the objects of the colli-

From sound to shape: auditory perception of drawing movements.
This study investigates the human ability to perceive biological movements through friction sounds produced by drawings and, furthermore, the ability to recover drawn shapes from the friction sounds generated. In a first experiment, friction sounds, real-time synthesized and modulated by the velocity profile of the drawing gesture, revealed that subjects associated a biological movement to thos...
متن کاملMonkeys match and tally quantities across senses.
We report here that monkeys can actively match the number of sounds they hear to the number of shapes they see and present the first evidence that monkeys sum over sounds and sights. In Experiment 1, two monkeys were trained to choose a simultaneous array of 1-9 squares that numerically matched a sample sequence of shapes or sounds. Monkeys numerically matched across (audio-visual) and within (...
متن کاملRunning head: SHAPES AND SOUNDS Shapes and sounds: An exploration of audiovisual crossmodality
An initial exploration of the relationship between harmonic timbre and visual form, the following study extends the work of Wolfgang Kohler’s 1929 study by using nonspeech sounds. Although previous studies have examined the relationship between language and shape, there has been little work investigating which properties of the acoustical signal contribute to the crossmodal linkage of auditory ...
متن کاملAn Analysis of Achievement of the Philosophical Sense of “Extension” in Music, with Interpretaion of Ibn-e Sina’s Explanation an Extension
This research can be considered as one of the studies that seek to explore, in an argumentative way, subtle and solid philosophical concepts in the field of art. The paper provides an analysis of the concept of “extension” in music as one of the most thought-provoking philosophical concepts. The analysis is carried out by interpreting Ibn-Sina’s special conception of musical extension to answer...
متن کاملThree-dimensional tongue surface shapes of English consonants and vowels.
This paper presents three-dimensional tongue surfaces reconstructed from multiple coronal cross-sectional slices of the tongue. Surfaces were reconstructed for sustained vocalizations of the American English sounds [symbol: see text]. Electropalatography (EPG) data were also collected for the sounds to compare tongue surface shapes with tongue-palate contact patterns. The study was interested a...
