Abstract

Spatial audio rendering plays an important role in simulating realistic virtual environments. This report gives an overview. It contains an introduction to the physical background of sound and the psychophysical background of sound. Spatial audio in current applications such as video games is reviewed and an overview of acoustical simulations and applications with special interest in real-time application is given. Numerical and geometric methods are presented and compared.
