Effect of visual features of VR avatars and cognitive load on audiovisual integretion-based sound localization

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In this study, we examined the effects of the visual characteristics of avatars due to the difference between male and female avatars and the movement of their mouths, as well as the effects of visual and auditory cognitive load on the sound source localization of the avatars' voices. In Experiment 1, we used male and female avatars and voices to examine the effects of the position of the avatar of the same and opposite gender as well as the effect of synchronous avatar mouth movements with the voice. Results showed that regardless of whether the voice and avatar gender matched or not, when only one avatar’s mouth moved, the perceived sound source location was biased toward the direction of the moving mouth. In Experiment 2, we examined the effects of visual and auditory cognitive load on sound source localization to avatars. Results showed no attenuation of multisensory integration effects as observed in previous studies using the McGurk effect, indicating that cognitive load conditions did not affect sound source localization.
