Auditory Display of Sound Source Distance
نویسنده
چکیده
Although the majority of research on spatial sound reproduction has concentrated on the directional components of source location, it is clear that full 3-dimensional rendering also requires an understanding of how to reproduce sound source distance. This article reviews and describes recent psychophysical research on distance perception of sound sources, with emphasis on how various acoustical and nonacoustical factors contribute to perceived distance. Results from this research have important implications for distance simulation and reproduction in spatial auditory displays.

Speech Intelligibility, Spatial Unmasking, and Realism in Reverberant Spatial Auditory Displays
Many auditory displays strive to include accurate directional spatial cues, but few provide robust cues for source distance. This paper considers how including echoes and reverberation in a spatial auditory display (in order to create salient cues for source distance) impacts other aspects of performance, especially speech intelligibility and spatial unmasking. Preliminary results from masked s...
متن کاملDecoupled Loudness and Range Control for a Source Located Within a Small Virtual Acoustic Environment
For headphone-based spatial auditory display systems, binaural synthesis of sound localization cues typically use source reproduction level as the primary control for source range. This approach can be quite effective when indirect sound is simulated in order to externalize virtual sources within a small virtual acoustic environment. A computationally efficient simulation solution is described ...
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 کاملIdentifying Where You Are in a Room: Sensitivity to Room Acoustics
In a spatial auditory display, reverberation provides a reliable cue for source distance, increases the subjective realism of the display, and improves the externalization of simulated sound sources. However, relatively little is known about perceptual sensitivity to differences in reverberation patterns or how precisely reverberation must be simulated in a spatial auditory display. This paper ...
متن کاملPerceptual constancy in auditory perception of distance to railway tracks.
Distance to a sound source can be accurately estimated solely from auditory information. With a sound source such as a train that is passing by at a relatively large distance, the most important auditory information for the listener for estimating its distance consists of the intensity of the sound, spectral changes in the sound caused by air absorption, and the motion-induced rate of change of...
