We are doing some research on audio environments for blind users of
workstations and would like any information VR researchers might have
concerning this topic. We are interested in 3-D audio systems that are
commercially available and any papers or research that relates to the use,
capabilities and limitations of 3-D audio interfaces.
To start off, i'll mention a few of the systems that we are
aware of. There is a system called a Convolvotron made by Crystal River
Engineering allows you to place up to 4 sound sources at different
positions in 3 space. Roland also has a system that handles 3 different
sound sources. And i vaguely remember a reference to a system being
used by Hughes Aircraft.
If anyone has any information on these topics, i would greatly
appreciate some e-mail, no matter how vague the reference might be. I
would be happy summarize on the net later. Thanks.
