Abstract :
The relation between voice radio communication and pedestrian localization is studied. 3D audio is identified as a linking technology which brings strong mutual benefits. Voice communication rendered with 3D audio provides a potential low secondary task interference user interface to the localization information. Vice versa, location information in the 3D audio provides spatial cues in the voice communication, improving speech intelligibility. An experimental setup with voice radio communication, cooperative pedestrian localization, and 3D audio is presented and we discuss high level tactical possibilities that the 3D audio brings. Finally, results of an initial experiment, demonstrating the effectiveness of the setup, are presented.
