ABSTRACT
In this paper, expectation and discrimination are identified as two important constructs to be considered in ecological sound design to achieve a sense of presence in virtual enviroments. Research to investigate the extent of this is described and the results obtained are discussed. Future avenues for research, on the basis of these results, are indicated.

6DoF navigation in virtual worlds: comparison of joystick-based and head-controlled paradigms
VRST '13: Proceedings of the 19th ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and Technology6DoF navigation in a virtual world can usually be implemented by two types of navigation techniques: joystick-based input devices and steering metaphors based on movements of the user's body, e.g. head-controlled paradigms. These two different types of ...
