Abstract

Spatial audio or 3D audio as an information channel is increasingly used in various domains. Compared to the multitude of synthetic visual systems and 3D representations, audio interfaces are underrepresented in modern aircraft cockpits. Civil commercial aircraft rarely use spatial audio as a supplementary directional information source. Although, different research approaches deal with the benefits of spatial audio. In 3D audio simulator trials, pilots express concern over distractions from background noise and possibly mandatory training requirements. To resolve this, the author developed and tested a 3D audio system to support pilots in future cockpits, called Spatial Pilot Audio Assistance (SPAACE).
