A tool for soundscape auralization of ancient archaeological sites

This paper presents the first stage of development of the soundscape auralization of ancient archaeological sites. The soundscape research has lately intensified, with different applications. We have focused on the application of audio augmented reality for enhancing the tourist experience of archaeological sites. In the first stage of our research, using a game engine, we have developed a tool for creating the soundscape of an archaeological tourist destination through augmented reality. With this tool, using virtual sound sources, we have simulated the real soundscape. Using mobile, location aware equipment, we have performed the auralization of this soundscape in situ. The fidelity of auralization was tested using the soundwalk method, by comparing the real soundscape with the auralization.
