Abstract
A 3D neural radiance field (NeRF) is used to generate an impulse response (IR) characterization, which can then be input to a convolutional reverberation engine to create an audio experience that reflects the in-game world on a 2.0 stereo speaker system. The NeRF recreates a background geometry and the impulse response of a virtual 3D space generated using NeRF is input to the convolutional reverberation engine to transform game sounds/music to appear as though they are occurring inside the 3D space of the game. The same may be done for the player's real-world space in which the virtual IR and real IR are blended together in real-time, and the real-life player tracked as he moves around the room to create audio as it would sound were the player moving through the virtual space while adjusting for the acoustics of the real space.
