Aim and context

• Test the importance of spatialized audio in a VR walking experience, in a large space.

• Build an interactive audio-visual environment where the user walks around in presence of sounding objects.

• Test the interaction with the environment in different conditions:

 – Sound is rendered with binaural techniques

 – Binaural sound field is affected by a roto-translation

 – Sound is rendered with stereo technique.

• Test the degree of immersion that the user can achieve in the different conditions

• Test the main differences that can be identified between those different kinds of auditory feedbacks.
