Spatial Abilities. Training spatial thinking in a playful way.

https://youtu.be/OH9YdFLYQkA Spatial thinking can be improved through practice. We propose an interactive, virtual and three-dimensional training software within the framework of a video game. The game-based virtual environment provides sequential exercises that train and improve spatial thinking and make individual progress measurable. Core team:  Prof. Ulrich Götz, ZHdK Game Design … Read More »Spatial Abilities. Training spatial thinking in a playful way.

SpiN3D: Speech in Noise in a virtual 3D Audio-Environment

Many individuals have difficulties understanding speech in adverse listening situations. Current experimental paradigms lack naturalistic real-life conditions, especially sound source separation in 3D.  We aim to construct several naturalistic scenarios with ascending complex/difficult listening conditions in 3D-Audio, including neurophysiology, cognition and hearing. Core team:  Prof. Dr. Martin Meyer, UZH Department… Read More »SpiN3D: Speech in Noise in a virtual 3D Audio-Environment
