# RESound: Interactive Sound Rendering for Dynamic Virtual Environments

## One-sentence takeaway

RESound (ACM MM 2009): interactive sound rendering for *dynamic* VEs — GAMMA's multimedia-systems snapshot before GSound AES.

## Why it matters here

Taylor/Chandak/Antani/Manocha 2009 is the dynamic-scene auralization system paper (path tracing/caching in a multimedia venue). Mint as the RESound name card the later TVCG papers sit on.

## Key ideas

- **Dynamic virtual environments.** Moving objects, interactive rates.
- **ACM Multimedia 2009.** Harvest auralization / dynamic-scenes.
- **GAMMA lineage.** Frustum 2007 → RESound 2009 → GSound 2011.
- **Geometric interactive.**

## Caveats

2009 MM vs later TOG (prefer 2014/2017 for algorithms). Not wave. Not HRTF.
