Abstract

This study aimed to validate calibration routines for an experimental setup that simulates and presents realistic acoustic environments via open headphones, with real-time motion tracking. A virtual acoustic environment was implemented, using the real-time SimulatedOpen Field Environment (rtSOFE) software package, which employs the image source method for real-time applications. This setup, including a set of calibration filters and the procedures to create them, was previously used to study face-to-face communication in nosy environments. The results in the present work support the use of this system and it’s filter creation procedures in future auditory research, providing a reliable platformfor real-time experimentation in virtual and augmented acoustic environments.
