Paper abstract


3-D Audio as an Information Environment


Peter P. Lennox, Tony Myatt and John M. Vaughan
University of York, York, North Yorkshire, UK

The progress from surround sound to true 3-D audio requires a more psychoacoustically complete depiction of the audio environment. This paper defines an important element of the interaction of sounding objects and their environment, called ambient labelling information by the authors. However, complex scenes can be cartooned in order to preserve only perceptually significant information and thus greatly simplifying rendering.
