AuSIM provides audio simulation solutions that restore the realism
of reproduced sounds for enhanced perception.
AuSIM's technology simulates the propagation of
sounds through an environment, so the resulting audio sounds like it actually traveled
through and interacted with a designed environment.
Human Auditory Perception
The under-utilized human auditory system is more capable than most people recognize.
Sound propagating through the physical world to a listener's ears adopts an aural signature.
Humans perceive these signatures and create a mental image of the environment that allows
them to discriminate independently originating sounds.
Humans do this effectively in
noisy restaurants and lobbies, tuning into desired sound and tuning out noise, a perceptual
phenomenon called the "cocktail-party effect".
The Problem
Conventional electronic recording, transmission, and reproduction of sound strips it of all
coloration that it would have picked up traversing an environment.
Such coloration includes
valuable cues to direction of origin, primary propagation direction, proximity, velocity, and
others.
AuSIM3D® simulation technology synthesizes and preserves these
perceptual cues.
Applied to real-world problems, AuSIM3D® helps:
- Reduce fatigue with naturally-presented information.
- Maintain more efficient and productive workers.
- Increase accuracy and quality of listener's work and yield
fewer critical and costly mistakes.
- Let listeners make better, cost-effective decisions.

AuSIM3D® Applications
AuSIM is focused on "mission-critical" applications in which completing
tasks more efficiently and effectively creates an economic or tactical advantage.
In mission-critical applications, operators are presented information
such as alerting data, images, voices, vibrations, and sounds that must be perceived
effectively for optimal decision making.
AuSIM applications are everywhere
- The audio engineer can place sound into a video so that it is perceived
correctly in the scene, conveying the information more quickly and creating
a more effective presentation.
- The driver´s education student can learn to react to realistic sound events in
a simulator, putting fewer people at risk during the learning and creating a driver who is
prepared to encounter the real situation.
- With AuSIM improvements in aural displays, the fighter pilot can naturally
react to the sound of threats from behind and below, saving lives and
resources.
- Air-traffic controllers can recognize pilots by coincident position of voice
and radar indication, increasing efficiency and reducing fatigue.
- Teleconferences with spatially consistent voices can be more natural and more
efficient.
AuSIM Customers
Developers of these types of applications, who are looking for a competitive edge,
are AuSIM customers.
AuSIM3D® provides the tools and interfaces that developers need
to create a believable sound environment.
NASA, the US Navy, Army, and Air Force, leading universities, and forward-looking
companies have taken the AuSIM step towards developing next-generation applications.

CUSTOMER USES
|
| Team Communications |
|
When more than 2 members of a distributed team must vocally interact
on the phone, radio, or internet,
the conversation is greatly impeded as compared to when they are physically together.
Each voice is perceived to be coincident with the other and difficult to distinguish,
especially if they attempt to talk at the same time.
