Minimal Ecological Sound Design: The Issue of Sense of Presence in Virtual Environments (original) (raw)

2002

Abstract

This paper presents a new sound-based approach for providing an effective sense of presence in virtual environments. Instead of reproducing realistic sounds, our technique is based on finding minimal sound objects and sound events. We present the results from a user study of people's sound expectations in different physical spaces. Expectation and discrimination are identified as two important constructs to be considered in designing minimal yet effective ecological sound. Our ongoing research into investigating these constructs is described, along with future avenues for research.
