ABSTRACT
This experiment investigates source point localization using only auditory cues. The idea is to determine how well humans can localize and reason about space using only sound cues, and to determine how different sound cues effect performance in such tasks. The findings from this line of research can be used in enhancing audio in virtual environments. This abstract presents first steps in this direction. The task we study here is: given a point in space near the user plus a sound cue that is modulated by the distance between the users hand and point, how well (quickly) can the user locate the point.

Immersive auditory display system 'sound cask': three-dimensional sound field reproduction system based on the boundary surface control principle
VRST '18: Proceedings of the 24th ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and TechnologySound cask was developed to realize the perfect 3D auditory display that creates 3D sound waves around the listener's head just the same as the primary sound field, based on the boundary surface control (BoSC) principle.
If we consider the sound ...
Spectral cues in human sound localization
NIPS'99: Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Neural Information Processing SystemsThe differential contribution of the monaural and interaural spectral cues to human sound localization was examined using a combined psychophysical and analytical approach. The cues to a sound's location were correlated on an individual basis with the ...
