Abstract
The ability for humans to hear, attend to, and understand incoming sounds is affected, at least, by environmental, morphological, and cognitive factors. Conversely, current implementations of audition in virtual characters often only consider as constraint to the auditory process the distance between the sound emitter and the sound receiver. To cope with this limitation, this paper presents ongoing work on a novel framework integrated in Unity, directed to game developers interested in implementing non-player characters with noisy, character-specific, and context-dependent auditory perception.
