MvEcho - acoustic response modelling for auralisation

Abstract

•Auralisation is the process of simulating the listening experience at a given position. •While many auralisation algorithms currently exist, the majority require a manual description of the environment. •In contrast, MvEcho removes the need for this manual description to provide an environment independent algorithm to approximate auralisation. •Initial implementation of MvEcho concerned the acoustic response of objects, namely the pyramid El Castillo, (shown below in Fig. 1) and has now been extended to model the response of rooms. •The algorithm is fully functional in C and is currently being ported to the Myriad 2.
