Model based interactive sound for an immersive virtual environment

Abstract

We discuss an audio rendering pipeline that provides real-time interactive sound synthesis for virtual environments. Sounds are controlled by computational models including experimental scientific systems. We discuss composition protocols and software architecture for hierarchical control and for synchronization with graphics. Rendering algorithms are presented for producing sound from a physically-based simulation of a chaotic and from higher-dimensional topological structures. 1. Introduction Existing computer music systems provide some of these In this paper we discuss the implementation of a rendering pipeline designed to bring sound synthesis and composition as research components into virtual environments (VE). We find that VE research provides a platform for projects
