FREE- AND VIRTUAL SOUND FIELD LOCALIZATION TASKS: COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SIGHTED AND VISUALLY IMPAIRED PERSONS
5-20Views:121The present study focuses on the examination of sound localization abilities of sighted and visually impaired persons. Sample: n = 59 (50 sighted and 9 visually impaired) persons, and 30 sighted persons. Method: we used Leybold 58707 piezo sound source in an anechoic room, and in the case of simulation of a virtual sound field, we used the Alice software in order to examine sound localization. Result: there is no significant difference between sound localization achievements of sighted and visually impaired persons in the free sound field. The localization uncertainty is higher when we apply a virtual reality simulator.
