Re: distance perception in virtual environment



Dear List,

Thanks for all valuable and interesting references.

I would like to add one on top of them:

In my experiments, the sounds were synthesized at different distances and presented to listeners for distance discrimination. However, the listener cannot easily perceive the difference in distance between these sounds.
