Abstract
"Immersive or artifically generated, three-dimensional environments are increasingly becoming a goal of advanced human-machine interfaces. While the technology for achieving truly useful multisensory environments is still in its early developmental stages, tehcniques for generating three-dimensional sound are now both sophisticated and practical enough to be applied to acoustic displays. This paper provides a brief description of three-dimensional sound synthesis and describes the performance advantages that can be expected when these techniques are applied to sound streams in sonification displays. Specific examples, and the lessons learned from each, are discussed for applications in telerobotic control, aeronautical displays, and shuttle launch communications."

Notes

Basically an updating of her "Localization in Virtual Acoustic Displays" (Wenzel 1992) article.
