| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research is to investigate the human perceptual process concerning the interaction among auditory, visual, and vestibular information. This knowledge is also used to develop three-dimensional audio-visual space reproduction technology, which is a very important part of virtual reality systems. The results of the experiments indicated that these three types of sensory information are closely integrated when people are moving. This interaction plays an important role for human to perceive the external world stably. The results also revealed that they sensitively perceive the approaching motion of a sound-object when people are moving forward. This observation would be ecologically reasonable to escape from approaching object. These findings are crucially important to synthesize accurate and real virtual spaces.
