Title:
Techniques for Low Cost Spatial Audio
Authors:
David A. Burgess
Abstract:
There are a variety of potential uses for interactive spatial sound in
human-computer interfaces, but hardware costs have made most of these
applications impractical. Recently, however, single-chip digital signal
processors have made real-time spatial audio an affordable possibility
for many workstations. This paper describes an efficient spatialization
technique and the associated computational requirements. Issues specific
to the use of spatial audio in user interfaces are addressed. The paper
also describes the design of a network server for spatial audio that
can support a number of users at modest cost.
