Virtual Acoustics in Psychoacoustics and Audiology
نویسندگان
چکیده
While initially being focused predominantly on the visual modality, research and applications in the field of augmented and virtual reality environments recently started expanding towards the auditory modality. In this context, two major fields of research interrelating virtual reality and Psychoacoustics or hearing research in general have attracted growing interest: 1) the evaluation of virtual acoustics (VA) systems using methods of psychoacoustics, and 2) the presentation of predefined stimuli in hearing research, as targeted by certain virtual acoustics methods. In detail, 2) can be further separated in 2a) the generation of exactly defined stimuli, for example required in basic Psychoacoustics and audiology, and 2b) the simulation of hearing impairment, as it might be desirable for research in audiology.

A New Method for Localization Studies
Many scientific studies investigate and technical applications use the acoustical localization in the field of vision. Therefore it is suitable to display the perceived auditory direction by a light point. In formerly known methods subjects use a hand-held light pointer or a pointer mounted on a revolvable axle in front of them. However, the subject’s motor system or the optical parallax may in...
متن کاملSound spatialization across disciplines using virtual microphone control (ViMiC)
Background in Spatial Sound Perception and Synthesis. Spatial sound perception is an important process in how we experience sounds in our environment. This process is studied in the fields of otology, audiology, psychology, neuroscience and acoustical engineering. Its practical implications are notably found in communications, architectural acoustics, urban planning, film, media art and music. ...

The ongoing studies on interrelations of virtual acoustics and hearing research we conducted over the past decade [1-8] led us through some pitfalls and avoidable drawbacks before we had established a laboratory that integrates our procedural experiences on the subject. The laboratory now provides the user in an acoustically versatile environment with an integrated and cross-linked infrastructu...
