Article Abstract

Sound rendering is the process of determining the sound propagation path from an audio source to a listener and generating 3D sound based on it. This task demands complex calculations, including trigonometric functions. This paper presents hardware-based inverse cosine function calculations using the table method and linear approximation. This approach maintains a high accuracy while limiting hardware size for suitability in sound rendering applications. Consequently, our proposed hardware-based inverse cosine calculation method is a valuable tool for achieving high efficiency and accuracy in 3D sound rendering.

Onomatopoeia is the formation of a type of word that imitates its associated sound. Since onomatopoeic words involve sound, hearing-impaired students may have difficulty processing onomatopoeia. The purpose of this study was to examine whether visual cues can facilitate the processing of onomatopoeic words in hearing-impaired students.
