“…In two early studies on the effect of auditory and visual factors on seat preference in opera theatres using static photographs and binaural auditory renders (Jeon et al, 2008; Sato et al, 2012), significant visual effects were found. A recent study using virtual auditoria found that while concert hall interior color affects visual preference and sound level affects auditory preference, these two preferences enhanced each other (Chen & Cabrera, 2021).…”

Audiovisual integrations and interactions happen everywhere, including in music concerts, where combined visual and auditory perception contributes to overall enjoyment. Thirty-three participants evaluated their overall subjective preference at various seats in four virtual auditoria, which comprised congruent and incongruent auditory and visual renders of two auditoria that differ only in size. Results show no significant difference between participants who completed the experiment in a fully calibrated and standardized laboratory environment and participants who completed remotely using various VR equipment in various environments. Both visual and auditory auditorium size have significant main effects, but no interaction. The larger hall is preferred for both conditions. Audiovisual congruency does not significantly affect preference.

“…Studies indicate a preference for views from positions near the stage, near the auditorium midline, sufficiently elevated to see the stage, and without obstructions (Burris-Meyer & Cole, 1964;Jeon et al, 2008;John et al, 2007;Kawase, 2013;Sato et al, 2012;Vaupel, 1998;Veneklasen, 1975). Visual factors not directly related to the performance, such as auditorium design, also affect concert experience and perception (Chen & Cabrera, 2020Hyde, 2002). Furthermore, visual and auditory perception are mutually influential, especially in terms of preference and spatial perception (Cabrera et al, 2004;Chen & Cabrera, 2020;Galiana et al, 2016;Larsson et al, 2002;Tokunaga et al, 2013;Valente & Braasch, 2010).…”

However, in most cases visual influence on auditory perception overpowers auditory influence on visual perception (Chen & Cabrera, 2020; Jeon et al, 2008; Zahorik, 2001).…”

Based on an online survey, this study investigated the effect of various factors, including those related to performance, acoustic condition, visual condition, price, comfort, architectural design, and social aspects, on participants’ selection of concert, seat, and their experience of attending classical concerts. From 153 valid responses, it was found that the most important factors were related to performance, acoustics, and view; but price, comfort, and social factors were also moderately important. Performance and acoustic factors, comfort and view, social aspects, and architectural design were closely linked in participants’ judgments. More frequent concert-goers focused more on the music itself, including performance and acoustics, whereas less frequent concert-goers cared more for the experience of going to a concert, and were more concerned with price, social aspects, view, and architecture. People who were professional musicians, or had backgrounds in acoustics or architecture, attached more importance to visual factors and acoustics. Differences between groups of participants were generally smaller than differences between attributes.

“…Chen et al used a head‐mounted virtual reality display to study the color preference of the concert hall, presenting participants with a 3D model of the concert hall, and changing the color of the scene. Experiments showed that red is the most popular while green is the least 25 . In terms of color preference analysis methods, scholars often use correlation analysis or models to study the relationship between color and preference.…”

The research on citizens' color preference is an important prerequisite for the scientific formulation of urban color planning. Color preferences are normally identified over the Internet or through questionnaire surveys and adjective descriptions. But the analysis has its limitations due to the uncertainty of color descriptions. Based on the quantitative analysis of the three attributes of hue, blackness, and chromaticness, this article obtains the inherent law of color preference of citizens, and compares it with the results of color adjective preference done by our research group before, which can supplement the accuracy of adjective description, so as to provide a reference for the color positioning of urban color planning. This article obtains the three attributes of color samples chosen by the public in the form of questionnaires as well as color sample selections. Among which 36 representative sites in Shanghai were selected according to the six types of land use. Adopting a more detailed method of dividing nine color series, viz. yellow (Y), red‐yellow (YR), red (R), red‐blue (RB), blue (B), blue‐green (BG), green (G), green‐yellow (GY), and the neutrals (WS). Moreover, chi‐square test and multiple logistic regression model were used to analyze the color preference factors and explore the relationship between citizen attributes and the three attributes of color sample selection. Research findings are as follows: (a) The citizens' favorite colors of urban architecture center round red, high whiteness, and mid‐low chromaticness. (b) The main factors that influence citizens' hue preference include gender, age, and monthly income; the main factors that influence citizens' blackness preference include: questionnaire distribution points, the frequency of coming to Shanghai, and whether to go abroad; gender and age are the main factors that affect citizens' chromaticness preference. (c) Compared with the previous studies on adjective selection among citizens, it is found that the effect of gender, age, monthly income, and educational background on color preference is similar; differences are in the occupational types, frequency of coming to Shanghai, and whether travels abroad.
