Workflow automations and optimisations to facilitate room acoustics prediction within multimodal virtual environments

Drumm, IA; O'Hare, JJ

Abstract

This paper addresses some challenges associated with incorporating complex architectural data within a high end immersive multi-modal display system with integrated Wave Field Synthesis, for a real-time multisensory experience. Typically BIM & architectural data will have a very high polygon count, complex textural information and metadata. Parsing this data for associated auralistion with room acoustic prediction requires a large degree of simplification together with a rendering strategy that presents only the most subjectively important features of the soundscape whilst preserving ecological validity. This paper will present and assess automations and optimisations in the work flow for the fast realisation of multisensory virtual environments with convincing acoustic components.
