Humans often miss otherwise obvious unexpected events when they are focused on a demanding task. This can occur in the auditory as well as visual domain – inattentional deafness and blindness, respectively. These phenomena can pose a danger in everyday life, such as not noticing a child crossing the street while focusing on other aspects […]

Geometrical acoustics has been widely used to simulate sound propagation in various environments because it has a lower computational cost than wave-based numerical simulations. An acoustic radiosity model (Sparrowpy) with a tabulated BRDF extension, which discretises reflections into finite cones based on random incidence or bidirectional scattering coefficients, is compared to an alternative ARE-based implementation […]
