Impact of Visual Virtual Scene and Localization Task on Auditory Distance Perception in Virtual Reality

This 10-minute IEEE conference talk explores how visual environments in virtual reality affect auditory distance perception. Discover research findings from University of Regensburg, Jade Hochschule, and Carl-von-Ossietzky-University researchers who conducted controlled studies examining multimodal integration challenges in VR. Learn how audiovisual congruency impacts sound localization accuracy, and understand the complex relationship between room visibility and localization tasks. The presentation reveals important insights about the interaction between acoustic and visual scenes in virtual environments and their effects on quality of experience, providing valuable knowledge for VR developers and researchers working with spatial audio systems.
