- Soundscape(also: Auditory Soundscape, Audio Landscape)
- An auditory environment where multiple spatialized sounds represent objects or landmarks in all directions around a listener, creating an acoustic representation of physical space. In accessibility applications, soundscapes use spatial audio technology to make virtual objects…
- Spatialization(also: Spatialisation, Audio Spatialization, 3D Audio Spatialization)
- The process of rendering a sound so that it appears to originate from a specific location in three-dimensional space around the listener. Spatialization typically combines head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) to model how ears filter sound by direction, binaural or ambisonic…
