The pattern is, in short, at the same time a thing, which happens in the world, and the rule which tells us how to create that thing, and when we must create it. It is both a process and a thing; both a description of a thing which is alive, and a description of the process which will generate that thing

Tangible Acoustic Interfaces (TAI) rely on various acousticsensing technologies, such as sound source location and acoustic imaging, to detect the position of contact of users interacting with the surface of solid materials. With their ability to transform almost any physical objects, flat or curved surfaces and walls into interactive interfaces, acoustic sensing technologies show a promising w...

Localization of sound source in the horizontal plane employs the evaluation of interaural time and intensity differences. The precision of the evaluating system depends on a number of parameters: frequency, overall intensity and deviation of the source from the medial plane. A preliminary psychophysical experiment was conducted to explore the intensity dependence of just noticeable time and int...
