Abstract
Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that provide realistic acoustic simulation for sound from a virtual source based on a site specific 3D acoustic model of a physical environment. Some implementations obtain first sensor data representing at least a portion of a first boundary of a physical environment while second sensor data corresponding to a second boundary of the physical environment is absent from the first sensor data. In some implementations, the second boundary of the physical environment is estimated based on the first sensor data. Then, a 3D acoustic model representing the physical environment is determined, where the 3D acoustic model includes a 3D shape formed of at least the first boundary and the second boundary. In some implementations, acoustics are provided for sound from a virtual source corresponding to a position within the physical environment, where the acoustics are provided based the 3D acoustic model.
