Abstract
Rooms that are used for communication or entertainment need suitable room acoustics. Often acoustics simulation is a fundamental part of the design of such rooms. While expensive and/or hard to use software packages exist that have a wide range of scientific applications, cheap and easy to use possibilities have not been available in the past. In the course of this work, a prototype was developed that aims to simplify the specific use case of calculating and visualizing room modes, a specific undesirable phenomenon in room acoustics. If possible, meaningful values are automatically assumed without user input. High automation and good user guidance are the focus. Interviews with test users have shown that not only do they manage to visualize room modes without instruction, but also that they only need 1-2 minutes during their first use to obtain their first calculation result.Additional Files and Images
