Virtual environment system for interactive acoustic assess of building

The subjective analysis and evaluation of acoustic properties prior to the actual construction of a facility is very important aspect during the design stage. Virtual Reality technology, specially visualization and auralization, provides a useful method to interactively implement this task. This position paper presents our creating Virtual Environment-based system for interactive acoustic evaluation of buildings and integration of combined audio/visual rendering in real time. Some issues and challenges what we are of interest and will face are presented as well.
