Recently, with the advent of new performing headsets and goggles, the demand for Virtual and Augmented Reality applications has experienced a steep increase. In order to coherently navigate the virtual rooms, the acoustics of the scene must be emulated in the most accurate and efficient way possible. Amongst others, Feedback Delay Networks (FDNs) have proved to be valuable tools for tackling such a task. In this article, we expand and adapt a method recently proposed for the data-driven optimization of single-input-single-output FDNs to the multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) case for addressing spatial/space-time processing applications. By testing our methodology on items taken from two different datasets, we show that the parameters of MIMO FDNs can be jointly optimized to match some perceptual characteristics of given multichannel room impulse responses, overcoming approaches available in the literature, and paving the way toward increasingly efficient and accurate real-time virtual room acoustics rendering.

Abstract
Recently, with the advent of new performing headsets and goggles, the demand for Virtual and Augmented Reality applications has experienced a steep increase. In order to coherently navigate the virtual rooms, the acoustics of the scene must be emulated in the most accurate and efficient way possible. Amongst others, Feedback Delay Networks (FDNs) have proved to be valuable tools for tackling such a task. In this article, we expand and adapt a method recently proposed for the data-driven optimization of single-input-single-output FDNs to the multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) case for addressing spatial/space-time processing applications. By testing our methodology on items taken from two different datasets, we show that the parameters of MIMO FDNs can be jointly optimized to match some perceptual characteristics of given multichannel room impulse responses, overcoming approaches available in the literature, and paving the way toward increasingly efficient and accurate real-time virtual room acoustics rendering.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
