- Description: Precise and accurate audio spatialization is crucial for gaming and Virtual Reality (VR) applications, as it is an essential aspect of the immersion experienced by users. When the audio of a virtual environment is synchronized with its visual sources and localized accurately, users are more likely to feel deeply engaged and suspend their disbelief. Audio Middleware software is commonly used in cooperation with game engines to meet the audio requirements of virtual environments created by game developers. This research paper presents a comparative analysis of speaker-and headphone-based immersive audio systems within the context of VR. The research findings indicate that, despite the headphone-based system offering more accurate audio localization and a higher ‘perceived audio quality’, the speaker-based system resulted in a greater sense of ‘immersion.’.

Enhancing Object Audio Control within an Immersive Sound System

- Description: Real time control over sound source positioning and movement is a primary advantage of object-based sound systems over channel-based systems. This paper describes a controller, processing engine, and associated library that enhances this object control. Apart from graphic spatialization control, the controller allows, for each object, the selection of its rendering algorithm, distance-based level, high frequency attenuation, reverb parameters and speaker isolation or locking. OSC control within the controller enables further control options.
