Figure 1: Our approach automatically places audio fles as sound sources on a 360° panorama image to enhance the immersion when experienced through a virtual reality headset. In this example, a background audio fle with sounds for a town is placed by our approach. Audio fles for people chatting (in blue), walking (in purple), and of cars (in green) are automatically assigned as sound sources for the detected objects, and are placed at estimated depths in the scene with respect to the user. Please refer to the supplementary material for the audio results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
