ScienceLives interview with Kyla McMullen.
While companies create visually enhanced movies, TVs and videogames to capitalize on the public fascination with 3-D technology, Kyla McMullen, an assistant professor at Clemson University's Human-Centered Computing Lab, works on 3-D technology not for the eyes but for the ears. It's called virtual spatial audio, and it helps people navigate their environment by locating sounds instead of objects. Just as a virtual reality might allow a person to immerse in a virtual world with a degree of depth perception, virtual spatial audio allows a person to experience an environment using just sound. Like, say, a pair of 3-D glasses you wear in the movie theatre, except for the ears.
