| Abstract |
|
The majority of information that we perceive from our real-world environment is of audio-visual nature. Virtual worlds, which are utilized in computer games to line out the story s stage, are composed of visual and auditory environments. These environments are designed to provide sufficient information for the interaction and exploration of these worlds. The authoring or content creation of such environments can be a very tedious and time consuming task. In this paper we focus on a specific chapter of game authoring: The authoring of auditory environments for virtual worlds. Many of the tools available for auditory authoring focus on visual cues rather than on auditory cues and common hearing behaviour. We compare several existing programs towards their applicability for authoring audio-visual as well as audio-only applications. In addition, we propose a new system, that allows the authoring of auditory environments through a non-visual interface by solely utilizing sound and specially designed interaction techniques. Our work is motivated by the current development of such an authoring system for virtual, auditory spaces. The implementation is work in progress and currently exists as prototypic application.

Overview of game authoring environments particularly with regard to audio and a short description of a prototype for game audio authoring. Could have done with some editing and there is much that seems wrong.

"Auditory environments are much like visual environments. The only difference is that these environments are perceived by hearing instead of vision. The environmental information conveyed through sound is usually different than the one through vision (Goldstein 2001)."
