Message-ID: <5ed8a4$8qj@nntp.Stanford.EDU>
Organization: Stanford University



	Announcing our third annual workshop on 

	 Audio and Haptics for Virtual Reality
 
	  to be held June 16  - June 27, 1997

	    at CCRMA, Stanford University

This course examines how our minds model the physical world. We will
focus on the senses of sound and touch and how these senses relate to
physically measurable and reproducible quantities. Relevant topics
from the fields of psychophysics, acoustics, cognitive psychology,
human-computer interaction, and physiology will be covered. In
particular, the salience of various auditory and haptic phenomena to
the perception and performance of music will be examined.

Lectures will introduce important concepts from the fields listed
above and will also feature talks by eminent researchers and
entrepreneurs working in the fields of psychoacoustics and
haptics. Labs will provide practical experience in psychophysical
experiment design and execution.
