Abstract
Augmented Reality Audio (ARA) is mostly employed in terms of
adding virtual sound source into an existing auditory scene. Common
goal of such system is to preserve the highest level of fidelity
and natural character of both real and virtual components. This paper introduces another approach to the ARA systems based
on intentional modification of the native parameters of both the real and the virtual auditory segments. The system employs binaural
microphone-equipped earphones used as microphone-hearthrough
device, which are able to capture and immediately reproduce
the auditory scene. A processing unit is included in the
microphone-earphone signal path. The unit enables to apply various
audio effects to both the captured and the virtual sound allowing
warped perception of the auditory reality. The real-time processing
algorithms were implemented in Pure Data environment.
The proposed system provides immersive audio performance and
has potential to be used in specific virtual reality applications, such as simulation of reality perception by people with mental disorders.
