Resumen	Beamforming is a spatial signal processing technique that uses microphone arrays to selectively enhance sound from a desired direction while suppressing sounds from other directions. Formalized by Van Veen and Buckley in 1988, beamforming is fundamental to hands-free speech communication, hearing aids, sonar, radar, and spatial audio recording. It enables 'listening' with directional sensitivity despite using omnidirectional microphones, by exploiting time delays and phase differences between array elements.	Acoustic ray tracing is a computational technique for predicting sound propagation in rooms by treating acoustic energy as rays that reflect specularly off surfaces. Formalized by Allen and Berkley in 1979 via the image source method, ray tracing is one of the most computationally efficient methods for room acoustic simulation, especially for early and mid-reflections. It is widely used in audio engineering, architectural acoustics, and interactive spatial audio for virtual environments.
