Abstract
This research explores the application of immersive environments, like the Panorama Screen System, for perception and psychoacoustic experiments. A system is developed to present architectural scenarios visually and sonically by using panoramic images combined with spatialized sound. These audiovisual results are displayed on a human-scale panoramic display, which is integrated with eight loudspeakers for spatial audio rendering. While immersed in this system, participants use a wireless interface as a controller to interact with the experiment and give subjective ratings for their preferences and perceptions of these scenarios. The findings show consistent patterns in preferences across different spatialized soundscapes, indicating the effectiveness of this method and the potential of immersive environments for gathering subjective assessments. This research demonstrates the practical use of spatialization techniques and how they can enhance immersion and facilitate the communication of sonic environments.
