Abstract :
We present a high-level Java API that allows developers of pervasive computing environments to integrate 2D or 3D spatial sound over loudspeakers into systems without any DSP knowledge. The system is platform-independent and allows most arbitrary speaker configurations, thereby providing a scalable tool for real-time spatialization with low-cost off-the-shelf hardware
