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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 first artificial intelligence algorithm to pass the "Turing Test for sound" has been created, capable of producing sounds that fool humans into thinking they are real. Researchers from 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 ...
