Abstract
Auralization was developed as a tool in the 30s. The historic overview over this development starts by using scale models as a design tool which is used until now. Here, the needed components are explained, and the pros and cons will be discussed. With the use of computer simulation in the end of the 60s, the presentation of auralized files started around 1990 first considered as a toy. Today the use of auralization is widespread. This paper describes the development of the technical tools to present auralized signals available for binaural reproduction without and with head tracker and by using loudspeaker reproduction without and with crosstalk cancelation. Nowadays, Acoustic labs with Ambisonics reproduction or similar technologies are used. In this presentation, the advantages of auralization are named including all positive properties to demonstrate the achieved simulation results to different client groups. But also, the misuse of auralization is shown in detail by using found examples.
