ABSTRACT
The Augmented Floor is a wooden floor with in-built PyzoFlex® printed electronics. It measures any change of pressure on its surface. For users walking on this floor, we created an auditory augmentation of their footsteps. Different sound designs were implemented, both realistic and synthetic ones. We developed a method based on envelope reusing and compared it to the triggering of step-sounds. The envelope method shows a higher correlation between the input signal and the playback sound; it was rated better. Besides, realistic sounds were preferred over synthetic ones.

Schrödinger’s box: an artifact to study the limits of plausibility in auditory augmentations
AM '22: Proceedings of the 17th International Audio Mostly ConferenceFor every physical interaction with our environment, we have some expectations concerning the resulting sound. As these expectations are quite rough, the auditory feedback can be modulated to convey additional information, without restricting the object’...
