“…According to the author, different technology-driven experiences, considering interactivity, authenticity and realism, may produce different behaviours in consumers and this is an area in need of further research. Although the visual stimulus is the most present and, for most users, the most relevant, research has been done to measure how other audio, tactile, olfactory and taste stimuli have an impact on users' behaviours (Dinh et al, 1999;Iwata et al, 2004;Gutierrez, Thalmann & Vexo, 2008;Chandrasekera & Souza, 2015).…”

The current study intends to highlight the most relevant studies in simulated realities with special attention to VR and marketing, showing how studies have evolved over time and discussing the findings. A text-mining approach using a Bayesian statistical topic model called latent Dirichlet allocation is employed to conduct a comprehensive analysis of 150 articles from 115 journals, all indexed in Web of Science. The findings reveal seven relevant topics, as well as the number of articles published over time, the authors most cited in VR papers and the leading journals in each topic. The article also provides theoretical and practical implications and suggestions for further research.

“…Soundscapes are 'alive by definition' (Blesser and Salter, 2007: 15). It is noteworthy that soundscape compositions have informed urban design (Adams et al, 2006;De Coensel and Botteldooren, 2007;Fong, 2016), cultural experience (Chandola, 2012), anthropogenic interference in natural habitats (Benschop, 2007), as well as waymaking and landmarks in spatial design (Chandrasekera et al, 2015). 8 But soundscape ecologies -those oriented to the physiological and population health of a living organism or population in its ecosystem or in a laboratory setting -are more internal and intertwining, less intent on producing atmospheres than producing data about the endosonic and exosonic soundings of organisms.…”

The Science of Listening in Bioacoustics Research: Sensing the Animals' Sounds

Bioacoustics is an interdisciplinary field bridging biological and acoustic sciences, which uses sound technologies to record, preserve, and analyse large datasets of animal communications. But it is also a world, made of the meanings created through inter- and intra-species communication. This article empirically explores a variety of bioacoustics research, including interviews with researchers, as part of a broader qualitative study, in order to theorize the expanding sense and sensation of a global biosphere and sonic data. By giving a sustained and detailed account of the science of bioacoustics, particularly how its modes of measurement allow for a new way of understanding what is involved in the de-centred modes of hearing that re-centre acts of listening and, by extension, the nature of the relation between researcher and researched, the article contributes to methodological discussions regarding the longstanding questions of how researchers and scientists are implicated in the knowledge and objects they collectively produce.

“…Table 3 lists virtual environments for navigational tasks. More recent VEs that complement this section are VEs using soundscape (Chandrasekera et al, 2015) and EyeCane (Chebat et al, 2015). Figure 6 The BlindAid system (Lahav et al, 2012) Lahav et al (2008,2012) developed the BlindAid system ( Figure 6) to study the exploration process of an unknown space in a virtual environment, the cognitive processing of it, and applying the knowledge in real space.…”

Purpose This paper provides an overview of navigational assistive technologies with various sensor modalities and alternative perception approaches for visually impaired people. It also examines the input and output of each technology, and provides a comparison between systems. Design/methodology/approach The contributing authors along with their students thoroughly read and reviewed the referenced papers while under the guidance of domain experts and users evaluating each paper/technology based on a set of metrics adapted from universal and system design. Findings After analyzing 13 multimodal assistive technologies, we found that the most popular sensors are optical, infrared, and ultrasonic. Similarly, the most popular actuators are audio and haptic. Furthermore, most systems use a combination of these sensors and actuators. Some systems are niche, while others strive to be universal. Research limitations/implications This paper serves as a starting-point for further research in benchmarking multimodal assistive technologies for the visually impaired and to eventually cultivate better assistive technologies for all. Social Implications Based on 2012 World Health Organization, there are 39 million blind people. This paper will have an insight of what kind of assistive technologies are available to the visually impaired people, whether in market or research lab. Originality/value This paper provides a comparison across diverse visual assistive technologies. This is valuable to those who are developing assistive technologies and want to be aware of what is available as well their pros and cons, and the study of human-computer interfaces.
