Development of a Sound Field Sharing System for Creating and Exchanging Music

Abstract

Many interactions in modern society have become virtual. To form deep bonds between people in our highly connected society, a mechanism for sharing one’s true feelings is required. Sound is one of the strongest tools that can be used to emulate an in-person experience, making 3D auditory interface technology a necessary area of exploration. There are several reasons for such a simple solution, realistic sound, not yet being realized. First, development of visual technology has been prioritized owing to its clarity and ease of understanding. Second, text-based technology has rapidly grown because of commercial requirements. Finally, the conventional theoretical basis of sound field reproduction is not sufficiently realizable. However, the principle of boundary surface control (BoSC) was proposed during the 1990s as a new theoretical basis of 3D sound field reproduction. After several trials of developing the sound field reproduction system based on the BoSC principle, this project started to clarify the applicability of the BoSC principle. As a result of this project over five years, we succeeded in being the first in the world to develop an immersive auditory display, which is named “sound cask” from its cask-shaped appearance. Since producing sound and listening to sound has been important to human interaction since early humanity, the sound cask will be an invaluable tool.
