“…(3) With the playback system, the sound reproduction system is completed. (4) If it is played in the speaker system, it goes through the process of applying crosstalk cancellation (Vorländer, 2014). aixCAVE is one of the CAVE systems that is a representative immersive virtual reality device, and it is the biggest CAVE system in existence.…”

A study on the auralization system using flexible rendering for virtual reality-based acoustic simulation 1. Introduction Although sound is invisible, it has a big effect on the health of the human body. So, people try to make a good acoustic environment to get rid of noise in their house and make a space to enjoy better sound. That is usually shown in a society that has a high average income, because the symptoms of diseases caused by noise do not appear immediately, and are not serious enough to endanger life. However, with the recent development of transportation and communication technology, the average global income level has risen, and so the number of people who know the importance of the acoustic environment is continuously increasing. The development of multimedia technology also makes people realize the importance of the acoustic environment of a room. One example is ultra-high definition (UHD). UHD technology, which was developed in 2005 has led to bigger TVs, and as a result, many speakers are

The relationships between the listener, physical world, and virtual environment (VE) should not only inspire the design of natural multimodal interfaces but should be discovered to make sense of the mediating action of VR technologies. This chapter aims to transform an archipelago of studies related to sonic interactions in virtual environments (SIVE) into a research field equipped with a first theoretical framework with an inclusive vision of the challenges to come: the egocentric perspective of the auditory digital twin. In a VE with immersive audio technologies implemented, the role of VR simulations must be enacted by a participatory exploration of sense-making in a network of human and non-human agents, called actors. The guardian of such locus of agency is the auditory digital twin that fosters intra-actions between humans and technology, dynamically and fluidly redefining all those configurations that are crucial for an immersive and coherent experience. The idea of entanglement theory is here mainly declined in an egocentric spatial perspective related to emerging knowledge of the listener’s perceptual capabilities. This is an actively transformative relation with the digital twin potentials to create movement, transparency, and provocative activities in VEs. The chapter contains an original theoretical perspective complemented by several bibliographical references and links to the other book chapters that have contributed significantly to the proposal presented here.

“…Auralization is a very powerful technique for evaluating sound and acoustics perception in the laboratory (Lokki, 2002;Pätynen, 2011;Pätynen and Lokki, 2011;Vorländer, 2014;Postma and Katz, 2015). It allows audible sound files from simulated or measured data to be created and reproduced using loudspeakers or headphones (Vorländer, 2008).…”

How important is the influence of spatial acoustics on our mental processes related to sound perception and cognition? There is a large body of research in fields encompassing architecture, musicology, and psychology that analyzes human response, both subjective and objective, to different soundscapes. But what if we want to understand how acoustic environments influenced the human experience of sound in sacred ritual practices in premodern societies? Archaeoacoustics is the research field that investigates sound in the past. One of its branches delves into how sound was used in specific landscapes and at sites with rock art, and why past societies endowed a special significance to places with specific acoustical properties. Taking advantage of the advances made in sound recording and reproduction technologies, researchers are now exploring how ancient social and sacred ceremonies and practices related to the acoustic properties of their sound environment. Here, we advocate for the emergence of a new and innovative discipline, experimental psychoarchaeoacoustics. We also review underlying methodological approaches and discuss the limitations, challenges, and future directions for this new field.
