Outline of Final Research Achievements

Humans perceive sound three-dimensionally thanks to auditory cues generated by reflections in the outer ear. In this project we developed advanced techniques in computer simulation of acoustics, to study the influence of ear shape and skin reflection coefficient on the auditory cues. The results reveal how the surface of the ear should be physically manipulated to enhance auditory cues for sound source localization.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

学術的には、このプロジェクトの結果は、ヒトの耳介周囲の詳細な音場を調査するために必要な計算手法に貢献する。社会的には、この研究結果は、空間聴覚の強化に必要な個別の耳介調整を提供し、バーチャルオーディオに関連する技術を進歩させるのに役立つ可能性がある。
