An Empirical Measurement Tool for Overall Listening Experience of Immersive Audio
Ganesh Kailas, Nachiketa Tiwari · 2021
Even while immersive audio applications in consumer gadgets are flourishing, there are no empirical measurement tools available for measuring the Overall Listening Experience (OLE) of immersive audio. This work aims at developing a subjective method to evaluate immersive experience using questionnaire- Overall Immersive Audio eXperience (OIAX) and compare immersive spatial audio with stereo. The questionnaire measures six subscales of immersive audio attributes - Presence, Immersion, Emotion, Clarity, Depth and Readability. The tool provides the firsthand experience of immersive audio products with good reliability. It is handy for designers to create attractive virtual auditory scenes integral to consumer multimedia products.
