Abstract

This paper shows how spatialised sound can be used to guide users around a located environment. Thus far, despite growing interest in delivering location-relevant media information to users, accurate delivery of virtual spatialised sound using limited-processing portable devices, such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), has not yet been explored. The use of spatialised sound allows users to judge accurately which direction a virtual sound is coming from through a pair of stereo headphones. The initial findings of this research demonstrates that spatialised sound can be used to navigate users in a locative game running on a PDA.
