ABSTRACT:
A digital audio spatialization system that incorporates accurate synthesis of three-dimensional audio spatialization cues responsive to a desired simulated location and/or velocity of one or more emitters relative to a sound receiver. Cue synthesis may also simulate the location of one or more reflective surfaces in the receiver's simulated acoustic environment. The cue synthesis techniques are suitable for economical implementation in a personal computer add-on card.
