The perception of virtual acoustic environments (VAEs) has been studied for years. An interactive translation enables the listener exploring more details of the auditory scene. Especially the continuous change of the listening position has rarely been subject to research.On the other hand multiple studies have shown, that dynamic listeners perceive different details of their acoustic environment with a higher accuracy. For example, motion parallax effects can facilitate the distance perception of a translating listener. Additionally, the directivity and extent of a sound source is perceived more accurately.Whether and in which way these effects can be observed in VAEs has been studied only rudimentary so far. It is still not clear, how simplifications in the simulation algorithms affect the natural perception. Furthermore the question remains whether a simplified or missing reproduction of certain aspects are perceived as a drawback regarding quality.In the requested project, the perception of virtual auditory environments regarding a changing listening perspective is subject to research. Besides aspects of continuous changes in distance, the relative changes in orientation between the virtual sound source and the virtual listener will be investigated. Furthermore, the perception of the virtual room plays an important role in the creation of virtual scenes. However, the perception of room acoustics during the movement of a listener is not completely understood.Target of this project is the estimation of connections between certain technical parameters of position dynamic binaural synthesis and the perception of VAEs. The investigations will focus on the contribution of translational listener movement.

虚拟声学环境的感知研究已有多年的历史。交互式翻译使听者能够探索听觉场景的更多细节。另一方面，多项研究表明，动态听者感知不同细节的声学环境具有更高的准确率。例如，运动视差效应可以促进翻译听者的距离感知。此外，声源的方向性和范围可以更准确地感知。到目前为止，在VAE中是否以及以何种方式可以观察到这些影响还只是一个初步的研究。目前还不清楚，模拟算法中的简化如何影响自然感知。此外，问题仍然是某些方面的简化或缺失的再现是否被认为是质量方面的缺陷。在所请求的项目中，关于改变倾听角度的虚拟听觉环境的感知是有待研究的。除了距离的连续变化之外，还将研究虚拟声源和虚拟听众之间的相对方位变化。此外，对虚拟房间的感知在虚拟场景的创建中起着重要的作用。然而，听者在运动过程中对房间声学的感知还没有完全被了解，本项目的目标是估计位置动态双耳合成的某些技术参数与VAES感知之间的关系。研究将重点放在翻译听者运动的贡献上。
