Abstract

In recent years, Augmented Reality (AR) has been widely used in various research. AR augments human sensation and offers information to support users in daily life. In this research, we propose an AR system that recognizes sound sources to augment human's vision. In our system, a sound source and its position are detected by acoustic processing. The system notifies a user through different visual markers, which are allocated on different kinds of sound sources. Our system detects different kinds of sound sources in daily life and notifies user of the information and the position of sound source. Using our system, the user can find out which object is making sound in the environment without hearing it.
