Présentation par l'éditeur
Writing at an introductory level with a sense of fun and
exploration, Perry Cook investigates the physics and
mathematics of creating sounds in the real world for use in
interactive digital settings such as computers games and
virtual reality. An enclosed CD-Rom follows along with the
text, allowing readers to listen to the guitar strings,
African drums, and squeaky doors that cook models.
