Description:
This video demonstrates our technique for approximating the sounds that are generated by the motions of solid objects. As the motions of the objects are computed, tbeir surfaces are analyzed to determine how the motion will induce acoustic pressure waves in the surrounding medium. Our technique computes the propagation of those waves to the listener and then uses the results to generate sounds corresponding to the behavior of the simulated objects. Further details are provided in our paper in the SIGGRAPH 2001 Proceedings.
