Project Details
- Visitors conduct a virtual orchestral performance in a virtual reality environment.
- The visitor, wearing data gloves, conducts animated virtual players holding different musical instruments. The players themselves exhibit human behaviors and have independent musical agendas when they are not being conducted. The visitor also experiences the results in a simulated acoustic environment of a virtual concert hall.
- Various techniques are used to produce this fully synthetic experience: rule-based agents for players' behavior, neural networks for response to conductor, physical instrument modeling for sound synthesis, real-time reverberation simulation for hall acoustics, and auralization filters for 3D sound.
