An interactive and real-time based auralization system for room acoustics, implementing directional impulse responses and multiple audio reproduction modules for spatialization (the AURALIAS project)

Several audio reproduction systems can be used for creating these virtual sound fields: some are “lightweight”, attachedto-the-user systems, like the reproduction through headphones including the effect of HRTFs (head-related transfer functions), while some others are more expensive in terms of resources and materials. Among this last category are the systems based on multiple loudspeakers arranged in a specific environment, like an anechoic room, an immersion studio or a CAVE (see [1,3] for more details).
