To realize three-dimensional sound reproduction using a bone-conducted sound reproduction device, the effect of the contact condition between the actuator of the bone-conducted device and the surface of each part of the face on the sound localization performance of binaural sound signals reproduced by the device via bone conduction was investigated. As a result of a subjective evaluation experiment, it was found that the sound localization performance of bone-conducted binaural sound was increased owing to the contact force and position of the actuator device.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
