Abstract: Described is a method performed by a computation device for generating a binaural audio stream, comprising: receiving an audio stream for a sound source; determining a measure of processing capability of the computation device; selecting, based on the determined measure, a filtering mode from among a predefined set of filtering modes for use in an audio filtering process intended to convert the audio stream into a binaural audio stream; determining, based on a relative position of the virtual source location to a virtual listener location in a virtual listening environment, filter parameters for a set of filters specified by the selected filtering mode; generating the binaural audio stream by applying the audio filtering process to the audio stream, using the set of filters specified by the selected filtering mode; and outputting the binaural audio stream for playback. Further described are corresponding computation devices, computer programs, and computer-readable storage media.

Abstract: A software-based system automatically generates personalized communications including arrangements for communicating with various databases, servers and client systems. A smart templates document generator uses multiple categories and types of profiles such as case materials, destination and layout, and supporter profiles, as well as event, level and document profiles. The system further utilizes substantially or completely media independent communications of materials involving database and communications software architectures, input device/output display synchronization techniques, and graphics rendering software implementations.
