SubsidieMeestersAn innovative touch-sound technology to provide 360-degree spatial location and content
The project aims to develop a novel auditory-tactile method for simulating spatial audio localization in VR, enhancing accessibility for the hearing impaired and improving overall user experience.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Digital interfaces & virtual reality (VR) are expected to penetrate more and more aspects of our everyday lives, from the domain of education to entertainment, wellness, and even medicine.
Current Advancements
While impressive advancements have been made in visual display for smartphones and visual technology for representing 3D space in VR, the ability to do so via audio (particularly in the back and the vertical dimensions) remains very limited.
Novel Method
Following an initial implementation developed under the NovelExperisense ERC grant (PI: Amedi), we present a novel (and patent pending) auditory-tactile method for simulating spatial localization of auditory content. This includes:
- Speech
- Environmental sounds
- Movement in 3D
- And more
Accessibility and Experience Enhancement
This unique method can enhance accessibility for the hearing impaired and improve the overall VR experience for any individual across a wide range of applications.
Future Directions
Here we suggest a line of experiments, further R&D, and a commercialization path for this intriguing and promising technology.
