Basic Study of Sound Localization for an Acoustic Visual aid System

This is a basic study of how subjects recognize the position of a sound source produced by a general three-dimensional sound processor and their behaviour on homing into those sounds. The study aims to apply a sound display system to an acoustic guide system for the visually impaired. Results show t...

Summary:This is a basic study of how subjects recognize the position of a sound source produced by a general three-dimensional sound processor and their behaviour on homing into those sounds. The study aims to apply a sound display system to an acoustic guide system for the visually impaired. Results show that subjects can successfully localize the sound by moving their position or direction; they tend to move behind the sound source when they home into it.
