Abstract
In the design of spatial auditory displays, listener interactivity
can promote greater immersion, better situational awareness,
reduced front/back confusion, improved localization, and
greater externalization. Interactivity between the listener and
their environment has traditionally been achieved using a head
tracker interface. However, trackers are expensive, sensitive to
calibration, and may not be appropriate for use in all physical
environments. Interactivity can be achieved using a number of
alternative interfaces. This study compares learning rates and
performance in a single-source auditory search task for a headtracker
and a mouse/keyboard interface within a single source
and multi-source context.
