“…Research on perceptual integration indicates that multisensory stimuli are generally beneficial for perceptual task performance [25,26]. More specifically, multisensory perception can improve reaction time [27,28,29,30], improve stimulus detection [31], and reduce signal variability [32,26,33,34,35].…”

It has been shown that multisensory presentation can improve perception, attention, and object memory compared with unisensory presentation. Consequently, we expect that multisensory presentation of landmarks can improve spatial memory and navigation. In this study we tested the effect of visual, auditory and combined landmark presentations in virtual mazes on spatial memory and spatial navigation. Nineteen participants explored four different virtual mazes consisting of nodes with landmarks and corridors connecting them. Each maze was explored for 90 seconds. After each exploration, participants performed the following tasks in fixed order: 1) draw a map of the maze, 2) recall adjacent landmarks for three given landmarks, 3) place all landmarks on the map of the maze, and 4) find their way through the maze to locate five given landmarks in fixed order. Our study shows significant effects of multisensory versus unisensory landmarks for the maze drawing task, the adjacency task, and the wayfinding task. Our results suggest that audiovisual landmark presentations improve spatial memory and spatial navigation performance in virtual environments.

“…As one who produces vibrations in cell phones, the eccentric motor (also labelled linear resonnant actuator or LRA) is retained here because it is small and is applied to a small area of the skin. This technology has been used for warning car driver [33], for training pilots [34] or to stimulate the movement of the fingers in the PD patients [35]. According to these applications, it fits well in clothing and is still discreet.…”

Abstract-Audio and haptic cueing have proven their usability to assist gait for patients with Parkinson's disease. These cueings are used when a gait issue is classified in real-time by an artificial intelligent algorithm using wearable IMU signals located at the lower limb. Such gait issue could be freezing of gait (FOG) and Bradykinesia symptoms. This system detects freezing periods and plays a rhythmic pattern such as Tacton or Earcon in haptic or audio respectively. When prior training is done with an appropriate serious game, cueing could help to recover gait cadence and then help to avoid fall. Both types of cueing were used in different research works without prior analysis on the best stimulation to use in a perturbed environment. Since rhythmic auditory sound could be an issue in a real outdoor environment, this paper suggests evaluating rhythmic stimulation cueing with the Time Up and Go clinical assessment test used for mobility evaluation.

“…Prominent examples include Begault's (1993) 3D audio traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) and Rupert's (2000) tactile situation awareness system (TSAS). Others have also investigated non-visual displays for aerospace (Rochlis & Newman, 2000;Van Erp, Eriksson, Levin, Carlander, Veltman, & Vos, 2007) Although 3D audio, vibrotaction, or combined audiotactile cues can provide spatial information to increase pilot SA, research suggests accuracy for localizing these cues is imperfect. Brill and Scerra (2014) compared localization accuracy for eight egocentric azimuth positions presented aurally or tactually (to the trunk of the body).…”

Loss of situation awareness (SA) remains a problem in aviation and can result in spatial disorientation (SD). Attempts to remedy the problem through non-visual displays have used 3-dimensional (3D) audio and vibrotaction. It is possible that the operational environment may not facilitate the use of 3D audio aircraft noise, fore-aft sound confusions, and pilot hearing loss. The present study looked at the effect of the first variable (ambient noise) on participants' performance for localizing egocentric 3D audio, tactile, and redundant audiotactile cues in the presence of continuous helicopter noise. Accuracy rates were significantly better and errors were less disperse for tactile and audiotactile cues, suggesting that displaying information to pilots through these modalities could yield substantially better performance versus 3D audio alone.
