Sonic InteractionDesign (SID) is the study and exploitation of sound being one of the principal channels conveying information, meaning, esthetic, and emotional qualities in interactive contexts. The field of Sonic Interactions in Virtual Environments (SIVE) extends SID to immersivemedia, i.e., virtual/augmented/mixed reality (XR). Considering a virtuality continuum, this book mainly focused on virtual reality (VR) also facing occasionally mixed and hybrid reality settings. The basic and most obvious assumption that motivates this volume is: it is hard to live in a world without sound and it is hard in virtual environments (VE) too. VR without plausible and convincing sounds feels unnatural to users. Auditory information is a powerful omnidirectional source of learning for our interaction in real and virtual environments. The good news brought by this book is that VR finally sounds plausible. Advances in several fields are now able to provide an immersive listening experience that is perceptually indistinguishable from reality which means that immersive sounds could make interaction intrinsically natural. Auralization and spatial audio technologies play a fundamental role in providing immersion and presence in VR applications at an unprecedented level. The combination of recent developments in VR headsets and earables further strengthens the perceptual validity of multimodal virtual environments and experiences. We can therefore promote a true audio-centered and audio-first design for VR with levels of realism and immersiveness that can even surpass the visual counterpart. Visuals, although rightly emphasized by many studies and products, are often not very effectively enhanced and strengthened by sound. The final result is a weakening of multisensory integration and the correspondingVRpotentials that strongly determine the quality and durability of the experience.
