VAEBuilder - A General Purpose Software Tool for the Description and Implementation of Virtual Audio Environments
Techreport ID: kmi-00-02
Date: 2000
Author(s): Mark Pearson
This document describes the issues relating to the design and implementation of a software tool for creating and exploring arbitrary virtual audio environments (referred to hereinafter as VAEs). A prototype package called VAEBuilder has been developed with some of the functionality described in this document. VAEBuilder is implemented in Visual C++ using MFC and comes with full hypertext or printed documentation for the sources. It is a work in progress, as many of the features and ideas described in this document have yet to be fully worked through or implemented, but even in its present state it acts as an example of how the various hardware and software technologies might be integrated.

Social Software is...
Interacting with other people not only forms the core of human social and psychological experience, but also lies at the centre of what makes the internet such a rich, powerful and exciting collection of knowledge media. We are especially interested in what happens when such interactions take place on a very large scale -- not only because we work regularly with tens of thousands of distance learners at the Open University, but also because it is evident that being part of a crowd in real life possesses a certain 'buzz' of its own, and poses a natural challenge. Different nuances emerge in different user contexts, so we choose to investigate the contexts of work, learning and play to better understand the trade-offs involved in designing effective large-scale social software for multiple purposes.
