Their feasibility and reproducability in a + real environment have been evaluated and tested and their implementations + extended.\\ + Often, rendering software is a single-purpose application, that fills the + niche for a specific setup in place. To some of these solutions + unfortunately, no further work is applied, leaving them unsupported at some + point.\\ + In the following work, current free and open-source spatial audio + renderers, currently in use in scientific and artistic contexts, are + evaluated. The SoundScape Renderer --- in contrast to the other candidates, + a multi-purpose tool --- is chosen for a rewrite of its network based + messaging system, which then allows it to be used in large scale + multi-loudspeaker setups and networked singular setups, all rendering the + same virtual audio scene.\\ + Its new networking extension, along with a client-server architecture, its + messaging system with tests and workflow examples is elaborated. + \end{abstract} \newpage -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
