Abstract

The basic idea behind the Sensitive Rolypoly is to respond to the ambient noise by changing its shape and lighting. It consists of six triangles that can change into a hexagon. The look reminds of an animalistic creature which can curl up and down depending on its environment, but in contrast to a real roly-poly the mode of behavior is reversed. Thus, if the Rolypoly is in a noisy, uneasy environment it shows the spiky triangles and conveys an aggressive mood, flickering its lights. As soon as the surrounding is getting quieter, it curls up and starts "breathing" in a soothing way. The viewer can have the impression that the Rolypoly feels safe and calm. Therefore, the Rolypoly's aim is to attract surrounding people by changing its orientation and showing them how noisy they are without realizing.

Obtaining Binaural Room Impulse Responses From B-Format Impulse Responses Using Frequency-Dependent Coherence Matching

Measuring binaural room impulse responses (BRIRs) for different rooms and different persons is a costly and time-consuming task. In this paper, we propose a method that allows to compute BRIRs from a B-format room impulse response (B-format RIR) and a ...
Determining Sound Source Orientation from Analytical Source Directivity and Real Multi-Microphone Recordings
AT-EQUAL '09: Proceedings of the 2009 Advanced Technologies for Enhanced Quality of Life

We present a method to estimate the orientation of a directional sound source and experimental results illustrating its performances. The method requires recordings captured by an array of microphones at known positions with respect to the source as ...
Multichannel Room Impulse Response Generation With Coherence Control

A method is proposed by which an arbitrary number of room impulse responses (RIRs) is generated from one input RIR. The method works by convolving the input RIR with a multitude of filters, one for each desired output RIR. The filters are designed in ...
