Outline of Final Research Achievements

The continuous effort of the researchers and their periodic communication have been reflected in the smooth progress of the project, arriving to the end of it according to the initial plan. Besides the development and evaluation of several sound spatializers, the effort of the two laboratories in the last year was reflected in the publication of two articles in international peer-reviewed conference proceedings, three articles in peer-reviewed journals, and the submission of one additional article to an international conference. In total, we published our results in 10 international conferences and 3 peer-reviewed journals. We also published the code of 4 libraries for sound spatialization related to our project.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

With the tools produced in this research it is possible to make a sound to appear as coming in different directions at a short distance from a listener in a virtual environment. This is an improvement of existing methods which only allow the correct presentation of sound a large distances.
