In recent years, the use of virtual reality in research has greatly increased due to its ability to recreate complicated and realistic circumstances in a well-controlled laboratory environment. In this thesis the use of three different auditory cues in a auditory selective attention experiment in virtual reality is studied and validated, examining which of them […]

Over the last few years, virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a new technology that is allowing scientific research to investigate topics from another perspective. This is due to the possibility of creating more realistic scenarios in which all the variables are controlled. Thus, the conclusions taken from such research are more consistent since the […]

This paper describes the results of a subjective evaluation of classroom auralizations with different levels of detail(LOD) by a listening test. Computer Modeling of the classroom with different LOD and the auralizations are realized by using RAVEN, after which the listening test procedure and the analyzed results are presented. The task of listening test is […]

Conventional acoustic simulations are based on CAD models. The creation of the 3D model requires modeling expertise and time. Additionally, the variety of model strategies makes this process difficult to reproduce. In contrast, Photogrammetry techniques can economically achieve valid representations of rooms. However, the models created using Photogrammetry are aimed at visualization purposes. The models […]
