Due to the work of Owe Wisch and Alexej Namenas (and of the rest of the SONAR team, of course) our SONAR simulator supports now a real-time mode for testing underwater speech communication. A multitude of "subscribers" can connect to our virtual ocean and send and receive signals. The simulator consists of large (time-variant) convolution engine as well as a realistic noise simulation that takes parameters such as wind speed, etc. into account. In addition, linear and non-linear behaviour of the sending and receiving hardware can be simulated. However, no simuator is of course as beautiful as the real sea.
