==== Hearing ====

The full acoustic field can be simulated over the frequency range of human hearing by 
solving the differential equations for air vibration (Garriga, Spa et al., 2005). While accurate, 
this method has a computational cost that scales with the volume simulated, up to 16 TFLOPS 
for a 2×2×2 m room. This can likely be reduced by the use of adaptive mesh methods, or ray‐ 
or beam‐tracing of sound (Funkhouser, Tsingos et al., 2004).  
 
Sound generation occurs not only from sound sources such as instruments, loudspeakers, and 
people but also from normal interactions between objects in the environment. By simulating 
surface vibrations, realistic sounds can be generated as objects collide and vibrate. A basic 
model with N surface nodes requires 0.5292 N GFLOPS, but this can be significantly reduced 
by taking perceptual shortcuts (Raghuvanshi and Lin, 2006; Raghuvanshi and Lin, 2007). This 
form of vibration generation can likely be used to synthesize realistic vibrations for touch.
