An efficient approach to machine control sound generation for interfacing real and virtual environments

Abstract

This paper presents the motivations and methods to generate the machine control sound for the virtual environments. The factors of machine control sound are investigated to handle the sound efficiently in the virtual systems and some of the controllable factors are implemented. First, we propose a new sound file format to find or generate the proper sound with the sound factors in the virtual systems that cause various kind of events and sounds. Then, we apply the proposed sound generating technique to the virtual system for a reality model, especially focused on the MP player. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
