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.
