Abstract : Wave Field Synthesis can dramatically increase the quality of sound reproduction. To create new vir-tual rooms with realistic ambience within any listen-ing space, new ideas for room simulation and virtual acoustics are needed. The work originally started at Delft Technical University (TU Delft) is now contin-ued at a number of research locations. The paper will introduce the basic techniques, show the require-ments for a number of real world applications and give an overview of current research topics. The ap-plications scenarios include cinemas, concert halls and all kinds of music performances (indoor and out-door).
