Distance Cues for Virtual Auditory Space
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent experiments investigating the acoustic cues that underlie distance perception for nearby sources provide important insights into how distance cues can be incorporated into virtual auditory displays. Potential distance cues considered include overall level, reverberation, and interaural level differences. Perceptual research shows that the relative utility of these cues depends on the type(s) of sound source(s) and the kind of acoustic environment to be simulated as well as the range of distances to be encoded.

Discrimination Contours for Moving Sounds Reveal Duration and Distance Cues Dominate Auditory Speed Perception
Evidence that the auditory system contains specialised motion detectors is mixed. Many psychophysical studies confound speed cues with distance and duration cues and present sound sources that do not appear to move in external space. Here we use the 'discrimination contours' technique to probe the probabilistic combination of speed, distance and duration for stimuli moving in a horizontal arc a...
متن کاملUse of Personalized Binaural Audio and Interactive Distance Cues in an Auditory Goal-reaching Task
While the angular spatialization of source sounds through individualized Head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) has been extensively investigated in auditory display research, also leading to effective real-time rendering of these functions, conversely the interactive simulation of egocentric distance information has received less attention. The latter, in fact, suffers from the lack of realti...
متن کاملRecognition of Distance Cues from a Virtual Spatialization Model
Emerging issues in the auditory display aim at increasing the usability of interfaces. In this paper we present a virtual resonating environment, which synthesizes distance cues by means of reverberation. We realize a model that recreates the acoustics inside a tube, applying a numerical scheme called Waveguide Mesh, and we present the psychophysical experiments we have conducted for validating...
متن کاملSpatial Hearing with Incongruent Visual or Auditory Room Cues
In day-to-day life, humans usually perceive the location of sound sources as outside their heads. This externalized auditory spatial perception can be reproduced through headphones by recreating the sound pressure generated by the source at the listener's eardrums. This requires the acoustical features of the recording environment and listener's anatomy to be recorded at the listener's ear cana...
متن کاملAuditory distance perception in humans: a review of cues, development, neuronal bases, and effects of sensory loss
Auditory distance perception plays a major role in spatial awareness, enabling location of objects and avoidance of obstacles in the environment. However, it remains under-researched relative to studies of the directional aspect of sound localization. This review focuses on the following four aspects of auditory distance perception: cue processing, development, consequences of visual and audito...
