Abstract:

Sensory augmentation using spatial sound presented in augmented-reality (AR) can assist people with low vision or blindness in navigating their environment (Katz et al., 2012). Nonetheless, in many situations, the poor quality of the binaural sound rendered using current tool sets limits the potential capability of the assistive technology. In particular, acoustic environments with near-field sources and reflections pose significant challenges. In this work, we provide a reference binaural room impulse response (BRIR) dataset with near-field sources and reflections and an associated shorelining psychophysical task that is useful for the evaluation of AR spatial audio. The dataset consists of 12∼small loudspeakers arranged on a 3-by-4 grid in a complex acoustic environment. BRIR measurements are recorded using the Head and Torso Simulator (HATS) for 17∼different receiver positions with a 5o angular resolution. Room impulse response measurements are also recorded using the Eigenmike for each of the 17 receiver positions. Using the Razer Anzu smart glasses to render the binaural AR spatial audio, we compare psychophysical performance on the shorelining navigation task using the recorded dataset and various existing binaural AR tool sets.
