       \subsubsection{Wave Field Synthesis}
         \label{subsubsec:wavefieldsynthesis}
-        \gls{wfs} describes a spatial technique for rendering audio. As such it
-        aims at synthesizing a sound field of desired acoustic preference in a
-        given listening area, assuming a planar reproduction to be most
-        suitable for most applications.\\
-        \gls{wfs} is typically implemented using a circular, rectangular or
-        linear loudspeaker array surrounding or fronting the listening area.\\
-        Several free and open-source renderer applications exist for \gls{wfs}
-        environments, with varying stages of feature richness.\\

+        \gls{wfs} is a spatial audio rendering technique, which is based on the
+        Huygens-Fresnel principle. It states that any wave front can be
+        synthesized by the superposition of elementary spherical waves.\\
+        Setups mainly focus on horizontal, preferably spatially discrete,
+        speaker arrays of rectangular or circular shape, as the human hearing
+        is most capable to localize acoustic sources in this this plane.\\
+        According to \citep{HagenWierstorf1899}, localization is accurately and
+        evenly distributed in the listening area with loudspeaker spacings of
+        up to 40cm.\\
+        Although \gls{wfs} does not suffer from a pronounced sweet spot and
+        spatial aliasing is distributed over a relatively large listening area,
+        compared to e.g.\ \gls{nfc-hoa}, the spatial sampling artifacts may
+        still be perceived as coloration of the sound field, which can be
+        improved by prefiltering especially high-frequency content
+        \citep{HelmutWittek1900}.\\
+        Due to the relatively high amount of loudspeakers (and thereby
+        computing power to calculate as many audio channels) needed for a
+        medium to large-scale setup, \gls{wfs} is not yet very widely
+        distributed.
