Enhancing the realism with 3D sound in different virtual worlds

Abstract

We have included 3D sound in our project for enhancing the realism in our virtual environments. Our project allows building different virtual environment multi-screen, with a full navigation system, four ways of manipulating: keyboard, head tracker, remote control and input files with different predefined tours. Furthermore, with this project we can also build two different stereoscopes: Wheatstone- type and Cazes-type. We have implemented three virtual worlds for the different environments: The first one shows a collection of anaglyphic photographs; the second one is a collection of photographs of roman art; the third one is a computing center.
