“…Such setups are often composed of two concentric levels of audio feedback, one in wide proximity providing cues that guide users towards it and the other in a narrower activation zone allowing further interaction [29]. Mobility is facilitated by sensor mechanisms that locate users' position and track their movement in indoor or outdoor environments [30], whereas three-dimensional space is commonly measured as roll, elevation, and azimuth, to allow for finer positioning of sonic objects and tracking of complex user behavior [31].…”

Augmented Reality Audio Games (ARAG) enrich the physical world with virtual sounds to express their content and mechanics. Existing ARAG implementations have focused on exploring the surroundings and navigating to virtual sound sources as the main mode of interaction. This paper suggests that gestural activity with a handheld device can realize complex modes of sonic interaction in the augmented environment, resulting in an enhanced immersive game experience. The ARAG “Audio Legends” was designed and tested to evaluate the usability and immersion of a system featuring an exploration phase based on auditory navigation, as well as an action phase, in which players aim at virtual sonic targets and wave the device to hit them or hold the device to block them. The results of the experiment provide evidence that players are easily accustomed to auditory navigation and that gestural sonic interaction is perceived as difficult, yet this does not affect negatively the system’s usability and players’ immersion. Findings also include indications that elements, such as sound design, the synchronization of sound and gesture, the fidelity of audio augmentation, and environmental conditions, also affect significantly the game experience, whereas background factors, such as age, sex, and game or music experience, do not have any critical impact.

“…An overview concerning challenges of augmented audio reality for position-aware services can be found in a technical paper presented by Cohen and Villegas (2011). As the authors state, methods of distance reproduction and tracking the observer's orientation in such AR environments are required to enhance value of AR applications.…”

This paper presents an experimental study of spatial sound usefulness in searching and navigating through augmented reality environments. Participants were asked to find three objects hidden within no-sound and spatial sound AR environments. The experiment showed that the participants of the spatialized sound group performed faster and more efficiently than working in nosound configuration. What is more, 3D sound was a valuable cue for navigation in AR environment. The collected data suggest that the use of spatial sound in AR environments can be a significant factor in searching and navigating for hidden objects within indoor AR scenes. To conduct the experiment, the CARE approach was applied, while its CARL language was extended with new elements responsible for controlling audio in 3D space.
