The creation of binocular images for stereoscopic display has benefited from significant research and commercial development in recent years.
However, perhaps surprisingly, the effect of adding 3D sound to stereoscopic images has rarely been studied. If auditory depth information can enhance or extend the visual depth experience it could become an important way to extend the limited depth budget on all 3D displays and reduce the potential for fatigue from excessive use of disparity. We present our existing research results and latest progress investigating this multi-modal approach to information presentation.
