Overview

SLAB (Sound Lab) is a software-based, real-time virtual acoustic environment rendering system being developed as a tool for the study of spatial hearing. SLAB takes advantage of the low-cost PC platform while providing a flexible, maintainable, and extensible architecture to enable the quick development of experiments.
