Three Dimensional Views of Immersive Sound Space
Graphics rendering and interaction-related issues have been the primary focus within the field of three-dimensional displays. However, the accurate three-dimensional positioning of a virtual sound source is another major contributor. Its neglect results in a degraded sense of presence experienced within virtual environments. To address this issue, this research project will change Immergo's (an immersive audio content and control system) two-dimensional view of an immersive sound space to a series of three-dimensional views. This will be done with the intent of investigating whether or not three-dimensional views can serve as improved means for the accurate placement of sound sources within virtual environments as compared to their two-dimensional counterparts.
