Distributed acoustic reverberation for audio collaboration
First Claim
1. A method for distributed acoustic reverberation synthesis, the method comprising:
- a) establishing a network audio connection between a first location and a second location separated from said first location, said connection having a network delay; and
b) providing a reverberation algorithm including;
i) a first procedure for providing a first reverberation signal to said first location responsive to a first sound at said first location; and
ii) a second procedure for providing a second reverberation signal to said second location responsive to a second sound at said second location;
wherein said network delay is an input to said first and second procedures.

Abstract
A distributed acoustic reverberator including a network audio connection between at least two separated locations is provided. When a sound is emitted at one of the locations, the reverberator provides a reverberation signal to that location with a procedure. An algorithm implemented by the distributed reverberator includes such a procedure for each location. The delay of the network connection is an input to the procedures. Thus, a shared and acoustically consistent space including the separated locations is provided. The reverberator may include procedures for providing a reverberation signal to one location responsive to sound at another location.
