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have superseded Aniscape for most simulation applications.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 Binscape and Space Array have superseded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 />
