Betreff: [cec-c] Fwd: Evaluating urban sound environment in web-based
virtual reality
Based on the EU funded SONORUS (Urban Sound Planner) project, a
web-based virtual reality tool for evaluation of urban sound
environment was developed, Researchers from Second University of
Naples are now inviting people to try it and give them feedback.
The test will take around 15 minutes. You will need a pair of
headphones or earphones for this test, and it would be better to do
the test in a relatively quiet place. If you are interested, you can
click the links below to start the test. There are two versions available:
Higher-quality version (recommended):
http://www.previewlabs.com/soundnaples/webbuild/SoundNaples.html
Tips:
– You should open the link and do the test on a computer rather than
a smart phone or a tablet.
– This version is currently not supported by Chrome, other popular
browsers (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera) should work.
– If you don’t usually play web games, you may be asked to install a
small plug-in called Unity Web Player (size: 12 MB) upon clicking the
link. You can always remove the plug-in afterwards in the way you
uninstall normal applications (e.g., in Control Panel for Windows).
– Depending on the speed of your internet connection, it may take a
few seconds or a few minutes to load the page (usually less than 1
minute).
– Depending on the size of your screen, you may need to scroll up and
down the web page a bit to see all the displayed information. _So if
you feel you miss something during the test, for example, not
receiving instruction of next task, make sure you scroll up or down to
reach the top or bottom of the page._
