Within the collaborative research center "SFB 1300 Hearing Acoustics"=20
several virtual acoustic simulation tools in combination with Unreal=20
Engine are used. One of those is TASCAR (https://tascar.org,=20
https://github.com/gisogrimm/tascar), the work on the link to Unreal=20
Engine was done by Maartje Hendrikse:

Hendrikse, M. M. E., Dingemanse, G., Grimm, G., Hohmann, V. &=20
Goedegebure, A. (2023). Development of Virtual Reality scenes for=20
clinical use with hearing device fine-tuning. Proceedings of the 10th=20
Convention of the European Acoustics Association Forum Acusticum 2023,=20
1401=E2=80=931408. https://doi.org/10.61782/fa.2023.0300

Here the acoustic engine runs as a standalone process. Model geometry=20
needs to exchanged manually, but 6dof position information of sources,=20
receivers and reflectors can be exchanged in real time via network.


A description of some other tools (SOFE, RAZR, RAVEN) and content used=20
for hearing research with Unreal Engine can be found here:
