Aims of the project
What is a virtual acoustic window?

Wave Field Synthesis
Originates from Huygens’ principle (1690)
If the effect of a source Ω is known on surface S, sound pressure in volume V can be synthesized with continuous distribution of monopole and dipole sources on surface S

Wave Field Synthesis
Simplification needed for realization
Reducing surface S to a plane (z=0) and further to a line is possible
Using a line array of monopole loudspeakers provides almost correct solution

Wave Field Synthesis
Creation of virtual audio sources with line array of loudspeakers by delaying and attenuating signals accordingly
Wave Field Extrapolation (WFE)Extrapolation from 4 microphones to 12
loudspeakers Sources in front the array also possible
Bringing someone ‘through’ the opening next to you

Multichannel acoustic echo canceller
![Page 10: Timo Haapsaari Laboratory of Acoustics and Audio Signal Processing April 10, 2007 Two-Way Acoustic Window using Wave Field Synthesis.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649f0c5503460f94c200c1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Performance analysis
A real time demonstrator was built Good localization of multiple sound sources, even
in highly reverberant room Stable echo canceller enables normal
conversation Echo reduction of 5-7 dB achieved in simulations
with wide band noise (16 coefficients) With 64 coefficients: 11-14 dB Whole system runs on one Pentium4 class PC

Conclusions
New aspects to communications system Opening to an another space Real spatial sound Persistent communication
Viable solution for home-to-home conversation With flush-mounted or panel speakers no visible equipment
Room for improvement with echo canceller Computational load Longer filters, system specific equalization Other solutions, e. g. frequency shifter
WFE offers clear potential for usability in acoustic opening
