[PD] wind noise

[Damian Stewart]

hey,

i'm working at the moment on an computer vision-based augmented tabletop 
interface to what is shaping up to be a kind of live map of a 
naturalistic setting.

our aim with this project is to remove any perception of technology from 
it; we want to give users the feeling that they're some kind of 
benevolent god-like being perched over a real landscape. using their 
hands they can interact with this landscape.

the vision part and the rendering are taken care of; it needs sound. i 
thought what might be neat is for the users' hands to act as giant wind 
paddles - so as they moved them over the landscape, they'd be able to 
hear the results of their movement as some kind of vaguely realistic 
wind noise.

any pointers on where i might start with this? i've been looking at 
physical modelling but most of the documents out there seem to deal with 
modelling acoustic instruments rather than natural acoustic phenomena; 
perhaps physical modelling might be overkill for what will probably end 
up being basically a series of noise filters..?
