Since the earliest conception of virtual audio displays in the 1980's, two basic principles that have guided their development have been 1) that virtual audio cues are ideal for providing information to pilots in aviation ...

An extension of the auditory module in EPIC is introduced to model the two-talker coordinate response measure (CRM) listening task. The construct of an auditory stream is employed as an object in the working memory of ...

Auditory cues, when coupled with visual objects, have lead to reduced response times in visual search tasks, suggesting that adding auditory information can potentially aid Air Force operators in complex scenarios. These ...

As visual display complexity grows, visual cues and alerts may become less salient and therefore less effective. Although the auditory system's resolution is rather coarse relative to the visual system, there is some ...

While several potential auditory cues responsible for sound source externalization have been identified, less work has gone into providing a simple and robust way of manipulating perceived externalization. The current work ...

A critical engineering parameter in the design of interactive virtual audio displays is the maximum amount of latency that can be tolerated between the movement of the listener's head and the corresponding change in the ...

Although all cockpits are currently equipped with visual displays that provide accurate information about the attitude of the aircraft, spatial disorientation continues to be one of the leading causes of aviation accidents. ...

Experience in real-world listening situations suggests that listeners, in general, have a great deal of spatial information about multiple concurrent sounds in an auditory scene. Despite this, laboratory data would suggest ...

In the design of symbology for spatial audio displays, a great deal of emphasis has been placed on the importance of bandwidth for achieving robust localization accuracy. However, there are some cases where the temporal ...

Although there is substantial evidence that performance in multitalker listening tasks can be improved by spatially separating the apparent locations of the competing talkers, very little effort has been made to determine ...
