Producing realistic sound models in VR is tricky, even compared to conventional video games. You don't always know how objects will sound in a given environment or where the listener will be, and you ...

The predictive ability of cough sound algorithms shows promise in detecting acute respiratory diseases, study finds. A machine learning algorithm for detecting and classifying acute respiratory ...

Anyone who has ever played a game recently is well aware of the dramatic improvements made in visual realism. On the flip side, the lag in audio realism has hindered the potential for true ...

Sound design has been vastly simplified because of the innate unscripted nature of VR simulations, but a new algorithm from researchers at Stanford could finally change that. Share on Facebook (opens ...

The folks at Google's Magenta project have unveiled a hardware interface for an algorithm-based synthesizer that uses a deep neural network to generate completely new sounds. Musicians drag a finger ...

Modern smartphones are slick and powerful machines. Their size varies between different models but generally speaking, state of the art devices pack lots of features into an approximately 110 x 60 x ...

Anyone who has ever played a game recently is well aware of the dramatic improvements made in visual realism. On the flip side, the lag in audio realism has hindered the potential for true ...

A new MIT algorithm is capable of determining, with impressive accuracy, whether or not people have COVID-19 — just by listening to them cough. The algorithm, which the researchers trained using the ...

There’s plenty of precedent for echolocation in the natural world: bats can navigate based on the echo of their chirrups; and blind humans, at least anecdotally, sometimes develop remarkable ...

In context: Modeling sounds in a VR environment is extremely complex. For example, striking a wine glass at different points will produce different sounds. Likewise, a falling plate shattering is not ...
