About Us

AuSIM was founded in 1998 by William Chapin to provide interactive, real-time audio simulation solutions to mission­critical applications.
Audio simulation is the aural parallel to its more broadly recognized sister technology, visual simulation. While visual simulation relies heavily upon computer graphics, audio simulation is typically implemented with digital signal processing. Both technologies are about synthesizing and presenting images representing objects or events that may not have physically existed.While audio simulation technology has been called ''3D sound'', this same title has been applied to spatialized or surround sound, which are simpler technologies attempting to leverage traditional sound production techniques. Spatialized or surround sound are great for creating a threatre effect in one''s living room, but they do not help distinguish multiple alarms in a nuclear power plant control room.
