Subject: Evaluating urban sound environment in web-based virtual reality From: Like Jiang <esrsix6@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2016 14:23:37 +0200 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--20cf305e1f259c43ff053c62aeed Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear all, Based on the EU funded SONORUS (Urban Sound Planner) project, a web-based virtual reality tool for evaluation of urban sound environment was developed, Researchers from Second University of Naples are now inviting people to try it and give them feedback. The test will take around 15 minutes. You will need a pair of headphones or earphones for this test, and it would be better to do the test in a relatively quiet place. If you are interested, you can click the links below to start the test. There are two versions available: *Higher-quality version (recommended):* http://www.previewlabs.com/soundnaples/webbuild/SoundNaples.html Tips: - You should open the link and do the test on a computer rather than a smart phone or a tablet. - This version is currently not supported by Chrome, other popular browsers (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera) should work. - If you don=E2=80=99t usually play web games, you may be asked to install= a small plug-in called Unity Web Player (size: 12 MB) upon clicking the link. You can always remove the plug-in afterwards in the way you uninstall normal applications (e.g., in Control Panel for Windows). - Depending on the speed of your internet connection, it may take a few seconds or a few minutes to load the page (usually less than 1 minute). - Depending on the size of your screen, you may need to scroll up and down the web page a bit to see all the displayed information. *So if you feel you miss something during the test, for example, not receiving instruction of next task, make sure you scroll up or down to reach the top or bottom of the page.* *Easier-access version:* http://www.previewlabs.com/soundnaples/webgl/index.html Tips: - You should open the link and do the test on a computer rather than a smart phone or a tablet. - Internet Explorer is not supported for this application.
