Book Description
One of the key underlying technologies of immersive virtual reality (VR) is 3-D sound for computers. While many recent books have provided overviews of VR, this is the first introduction to 3-D sound theory and applications aimed at the commercial engineer. It will provide the reader with an understanding of the communication chain between source and listener, and of how important issues in psychoacoustics and engineering interact. "Anyone interested in synthesizing auditory spatial experience - whether for a multimedia, virtual reality, or other related application - will find this book a valuable resource...Durand Begault is arguably one of the most knowledgeable sources of reliable information on the subject. And his book, 3D Sound for Virtual Reality and Multimedia, attests to that fact." --MIX Magazine
