EARS Auralization Software
Wolfgang Ahnert, Rainer Feistel · Journal of the Audio Engineering Society · 1993
A new auralization software called EARS, for electronically auralized room simulation, is discussed in conjunction with the EASE (electro acoustic simulator for engineers) acoustic simulation software previously introduced by the authors. Starting from a room simulation in EASE 2.0, the resultant simulated monaural room impulse response, complete with directivity information (angles of incidence), and stored in EASE postprocessing files, is convolved with outer ear transfer functions to derive a binaural signal. This binaural signal is then convolved with dry music. The resultant binaural auralization is a function of the selected listening position in the room and the head orientation of the simulated listener
