Introduction to the Simulation Tools<br />

The simulation tools are comprised of a number of separate<br />

VRack applications that provide simulation of threedimensional<br />

acoustic spaces over an array of speakers or a set<br />

of headphones.<br />

Binscape: Which provides facilities for simulating virtual<br />

acoustic spaces with multiple moving sound sources. Binscape<br />

uses binaural processing and optimised panning algorithms to<br />

provide high-end positional audio over headphones.<br />

Space Array: Which provides facilities for simulating multiple<br />

moving sound sources and three-dimensional virtual acoustic<br />

spaces. Featuring an optimised panning algorithm for speaker<br />

arrays, Space Array has an enlarged sweet spot and is suitable<br />

for personal or group presentations.<br />

AniScape: Which provides facilities for simulating threedimensional<br />

virtual sound spaces, where a single user can hear<br />

multiple moving sources through a speaker array or<br />

headphones. Aniscape is made up of a number of individual<br />

simulation tools, including Sound Field Filter, Speaker<br />

Decoder, and Binaural Decoder. Binscape and Space Array<br />

have superseded Aniscape for most simulation applications.<br />

MultiScape: Which provides facilities for simulating threedimensional<br />

virtual acoustic spaces, where multiple users can<br />

hear multiple moving sources by using a speaker array or<br />

headphones. Binscape and Space Array have superseded<br />

Multiscape for most simulation applications.<br />

HeadScape: Which provides facilities for using long, low<br />

latency FIR filters in combination with a head tracking device.<br />

This combination allows HeadScape to produce very accurate<br />

three-dimensional sound for high-end acoustic simulations.<br />

Sonic Animator: Which provides a graphical interface and<br />

panning tool for manipulating audio sound source location.<br />

Lake Technology provides a selection of Other simulation tools<br />

which integrate with the above tools and other Lake<br />

Technology VRack applications. These other tools include:<br />

Locator: Designed for testing and configuration verification,<br />

the Locator provides a visual interface to allow the positioning<br />

and movement of sound objects on a two dimensional plane.<br />

WavePlayer-2: An enhanced version of WavePlayer for play<br />

back of long duration Wave files (*.WAV) with zero <strong>Huron</strong><br />

DSP usage.<br />

WavePlayer: Designed to play back Wave files (*.WAV)<br />

encoded in the *.SIM file format through the <strong>Huron</strong> system.<br />

Tracker: Allows the <strong>Huron</strong> to interface with a threedimensional<br />

position tracking system such as the Polhemus®<br />
