DirAC-based audio engine demo

Ville Pulkki, Helsinki University of Technology

Directional audio coding (DirAC) is a method for spatial sound processing, which is in this case applied for spatial audio synthesis, coding, and reproduction for virtual worlds, as presented in accompanying poster. The on-line and off-line demonstrations will show the use of DirAC as audio engine. Sound sources are positioned into virtual world, and DirAC is used to control the auditorily perceived direction, distance and extent of them.
