abstract = "The integration of the auditory modality in virtual reality
environments is known to promote the sensations
of immersion and presence. However it is also known
from psychophysics studies that auditory-visual interaction
obey to complex rules and that multisensory
conflicts may disrupt the adhesion of the participant
to the presented virtual scene. It is thus important
to measure the accuracy of the auditory spatial cues
reproduced by the auditory display and their consistency
with the spatial visual cues. This study evaluates
auditory localization performances under various unimodal
and auditory-visual bimodal conditions in a virtual
reality (VR) setup using a stereoscopic display and
binaural reproduction over headphones in static conditions.
The auditory localization performances observed
in the present study are in line with those reported
in real conditions, suggesting that VR gives rise
to consistent auditory and visual spatial cues. These
results validate the use of VR for future psychophysics
experiments with auditory and visual stimuli. They
also emphasize the importance of a spatially accurate
auditory and visual rendering for VR setups."
