Real-time rendering of dynamic scenes using wave field synthesis

Abstract

Wave field synthesis (WFS) methods, combined with the MPEG-4 multimedia standard, allow us to capture, transmit and reproduce time-varying acoustic scenes, such as theatre events with moving actors in a concert hall, in a perceptually realistic way for groups of listeners in a defined listening area. In this paper, we present related techniques that have been developed within the European project Carrouso.
