Publications that are related to the Virtual Acoustics (VA) framework


Preface

Virtual Acoustics is used by the Institute for Hearing Technology and Acoustics for listening experiments and Virtual Reality applications. As a result, a lot of publications are related to VA. Find the most relevant papers of IHTA below, ordered by system, technology and applied sections.

If you are also using VA and want your publications to be listed as an applied VA publication, please contact us.

Naturally, VA has implemented a lot of methods that are available by publications of others. Please understand that we can not give credit to everyone, but if you inspect the source code you will find related publications where appropriate.

A technical report is currently in progress. If you want to use VA for your research and would like refer to it in a scientific publication, this yet to be published report will be the appropriate citation. Additionally we recommend to state the version used, e.g. v2018a or a GIT revision / tag.
