"...the visual and the auditory field of view are two independent sensory systems..."  
"Auditory environments are much like visual environments. The only difference is that these environments are perceived by hearing instead of vision. The environmental information conveyed through sound is usually different than the one through vision (Goldstein 2001)."

E.Bruce Goldstein, Sensation and Perception Wadsworth Publishing Company,2001
 
"For the rendering of acoustic scenes, it is more important to focus on the clarity and effectivity of the display rather than on physically accurate rendering."  
The authors divide sound in [game] auditory environments into:

  1. Story-related sound textures. Sounds can be activated by user interaction. Can be one sound or layered sounds and drive the narrative onward.
  2. Environmental sound textures. Characterise story-related sound textures in different environments. The example they give is tyres on a moving car in different environments. Tyres are the story-related sound texture; dirt road, wet tarmac etc. are the environmental sound textures. The latter are defined and processed by the game's physics engine.

Three categories of auditory phenomena in auditory worlds:

  1. Speech -- (transmission of knowledge)
  2. Music -- (suited to affect and emotion)
  3. Natural or artifical sounds


The last is the largest and may be further broken down to:

  1. Main sounds
  2. Supporting sounds
  3. Ambient sounds

or

  1. describing sounds -- information about environment
  2. artifical sounds -- used for identifaction of objects
 

All objects in an auditory[-only] world are described as 'interactable' -- all objects must emit sound otherwise they do not exist for the listener. These objects can be grouped as


  • obstacles -- interfere with environment navigation
  • portals -- allow change of position within the environment
  • interactables -- most interactive and its sounds describe the object's potential or possibilities.

There is a little discussion of difficulties in choosing sounds appropriate for the interactables (Gaver 1986)

"The most important quality to explore acoustic spaces is the ability to determine the origin of sounds and speech."
