OBJECTIVE MEASURES OF SPACIOUSNESS AND ENVELOPMENT
@inproceedings{Griesinger1999OBJECTIVEMO, title={OBJECTIVE MEASURES OF SPACIOUSNESS AND ENVELOPMENT}, author={David Griesinger}, year={1999} }
This paper will discuss current knowledge of spaciousness and envelopment (assumed to be the same perception) with particular attention to measurement techniques that might be applicable to virtual audio systems. We find that all frequencies contribute to the perception of envelopment. At frequencies below 2000Hz envelopment arises from fluctuations in the Interaural Time Delay (ITD) and the Interaural Intensity Difference (IID) at the ears of the listener. Fluctuations that follow the ends of…

ASW and LEV are investigated in the context of virtual acoustic environments (VAE) using wave field synthesis (WFS) for sound reproduction using multiple closely spaced virtual sound sources.
The influence of binaural incoherence on annoyance reported for unpleasant low frequency sound
- Physics

The annoyance caused by unpleasant low-frequency sound is known to be influenced by many factors, but studies of the influence of differences in such signals reaching a listener’s two separate ears…
Relation between acoustic measurements and the perceived diffuseness of a synthesised sound field
- Physics
- 2016
Common metrics, such as Interaural Cross-Correlation Coefficient (IACC), sound pressure level uniformity, and the diffuseness calculation used in Directional Audio Coding (DirAC), may be less appropriate for analysing the perceived Diffuseness of a reproduced field than they are for architectural acoustics applications.
Source Width in Music Production. Methods in Stereo, Ambisonics, and Wave Field Synthesis
- Physics

A Perceptual Investigation into Spatialization Techniques Used in Multichannel Electroacoustic Music for Envelopment and Engulfment
- PhysicsComputer Music Journal
- 2017
An experiment investigating the perception of the spatial attributes of “envelopment” and “engulfment" within a high-density loudspeaker array suggested that dynamic spectral subband decorrelation was perceived as both the most enveloping and the most engulfing technique when compared to other techniques in these experimental loudspeaker configurations.
Obtaining objective, content-specific room acoustical parameters using auditory modeling
- Physics
- 2013
The acoustical properties of rooms are generally described using objective parameters as determined from measured or simulated roomimpulse responses. However, this method has some disadvantages.…
