In this paper, we propose a thorough solution for adjusting virtual sound field with different kinds of devices and software in preliminary procedure and late stage of music processing. The basic process of music production includes composing, arranging and recording at pre-production stage as well as sound mixing and mastering at post-production stage. At the initial stage of music creation, it should be checked whether the design of virtual sound field, the choice of the tone and the instrument used in the arrangement match the virtual sound field required for the final work. In later recording, mixing and mastering, elaborate adjustments should be done to the virtual sound field. This study also analyzed how to apply the parameter of the effectors to the design and adjustment of the virtual sound field, making it the source of our creation.

Currently a multichannel system for virtual 3-D sound rendering is under development. Robust sound image formation and smooth real time interactivity are main design Points. The system utilizes VBAP algorithm as virtual sound image positioning. Overall system settings can be easily configured. We developed software, RIMA. as a driving Program of the system. At this stage, it is possible to position virtual sound images at arbitrary positions in three-dimensional space. The characteristics of the system are discussed. The system has been applied to the KAIST Bicycle Simulator to generate the virtual sound field.

In this paper, we propose a virtual sound localization algorithm which improves the sound localization accuracy and sound color preservation for two channel and multi-channel surround speaker layouts. In conventional CPP laws, the sound direction is different from the panning angle and the sound color is different from real sound source especially when the speakers are spread out widely. To overcome this drawback, we design a virtual sound localization algorithm using directional psychoacoustic criteria (DPC) and sound color compensator (SCC). The analysis results show that in the case of the proposed system, the sound direction is the same as the panning angle in the audible frequency range and the sound color is less deviated from a real sound source than the conventional CPP law. In addition, its performance is verified by means of subjective tests using a real sound source.

본 논문에서는 객체 간 충돌음과 같이 가상환경의 발생 상황을 전달할 수 있는 중요한 감각 채널 중 하나인 소리를 통해 청각적 인터랙션을 디자인할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 철, 고무, 유리 등 물질별 기본음 샘플에 대해 각각의 고유음을 특징짓는 모드 게인 값의 스케일 변경을 허용함으로써 디자인적 변형이 가능하도록 하고, 충돌 상황에 대한 인지적 속성인 충돌체의 크기, 딱딱한 정도, 접촉면적, 충돌 속도 차이에 의한 충돌음의 변화를 실시간에 재현할 수 있게 하는 계산적 알고리즘을 사용한 방법이다. 소리를 통한 충돌물체의 물질 및 충돌 상황 인지 실험을 통해 제안된 방법이 가상환경 청각적 인터랙션 디자인에 사용될 수 있음을 보였다.

본 논문은 2D/3D 가상환경에서 실감 사운드의 실시간 합성을 위한 $EVE-Sound^{TM}$ 툴킷의 설계와 개발결과를 제시한다. $EVE-Sound^{TM}$는 사운드 효과 계산에 필요한 장면요소를 간추리는 전처리 도구와 실시간 렌더링 API들로 구성되며, 다중 모달리티의 실감 재현을 필요로 하는 가상현실, 게임 등의 각종 인터랙티브 콘텐츠에서 사용자에게 고급 그래픽 환경을 허용하면서 동시에 사운드의 실시간 재현을 가능하게 함을 목표로 하였다. 3차원 사운드 계산이 매우 복잡하기 때문에 기존의 사운드 API들이 간단한 사운드 효과와 재생을 제공하는 것과 달리, 복잡한 가상환경에서 3차원 사운드의 원리를 반영하되 그 렌더링을 실시간화하는 데 초점을 두었고, 이를 위해 새로운 장면 간략화 및 공간사운드 계산 방법이 제시되었다. 응용 사례 및 실험, 알고리즘 분석을 통해 제시된 툴킷의 활용성 및 향상된 실시간성을 확인하였다.

VR (Virtual Reality) contents make the audience perceive virtual space as real through the virtual Z axis which creates a space that could not be created in 2D due to the space between the eyes of the audience. This visual change has led to the need for technological changes to sound and sound sources inserted into VR contents. However, studies to increase immersion in VR contents are still more focused on scientific and visual fields. This is because composing and producing VR sounds require professional views in two areas: sound-based engineering and computer-based interactive sound engineering. Sound-based engineering is difficult to reflect changes in user interaction or time and space by directing the sound effects, script sound, and background music according to the storyboard organized by the director. However, it has the advantage of producing the sound effects, script sound, and background music in one track and not having to go through the coding phase. Computer-based interactive sound engineering, on the other hand, is produced in different files, including the sound effects, script sound, and background music. It can increase immersion by reflecting user interaction or time and space, but it can also suffer from noise cancelling and sound collisions. Therefore in this study, the following methods were devised and utilized to produce sound for VR contents called "A Midsummer Night" so as to take advantage of each sound-making technology. First, the storyboard is analyzed according to the user's interaction. It is to analyze sound effects, script sound, and background music which is required according to user interaction. Second, the sounds are classified and analyzed as 'simultaneous sound' and 'individual sound'. Thirdly, work on interaction coding for sound effects, script sound, and background music that were produced from the simultaneous sound and individual time sound categories is done. Then, the contents are completed by applying the sound to the video. By going through the process, sound quality inhibitors such as noise cancelling can be removed while allowing sound production that fits to user interaction and time and space.

An active virtual impedance algorithm is newly proposed to track a sound source and to avoid obstacles while a mobile robot is following the sound source. The tracking velocity of a mobile robot to the sound source is determined by virtual repulsive and attraction forces to avoid obstacles and to follow the sound source, respectively. Active virtual impedance is defined as a function of distances and relative velocities to the sound source and obstacles from the mobile robot, which is used to generate the tracking velocity of the mobile robot. Conventional virtual impedance methods have fixed coefficients for the relative distances and velocities. However, in this research the coefficients are dynamically adjusted to elaborate the obstacle avoidance performance in multiple obstacle environments. The relative distances and velocities are obtained using a microphone array consisting of three microphones in a row. The geometrical relationships of the microphones are utilized to estimate the relative position and orientation of the sound source against the mobile robot which carries the microphone array. Effectiveness of the proposed algorithm has been demonstrated by real experiments.

The objective of this study is to determine the effect for the sound quality according to the noise source and to build the sound quality index of the laundry noise. In order to compare laundry noise among the influence of noise sources, we made virtual laundry noises by synthesizing an actual laundry noise and each noise source such as a dropping noise, water noise, motor noise and circulation pump noise. We conducted a listening test by customers using virtual laundry noises. As a result of listening test, we found that the dropping noise has a decisive effect on the sound quality of the laundry noise. We conducted the multi regression analysis of sound quality for the laundry noise using the statistical data processing. It is verified to the reliability of the multi regression index by comparison with listening results and index results of other actual laundry noises. This study is expected to provide a guide line for improvement of the laundry noise.
