dragonfyr Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I will stick this here. This article addresses a wide range of issues apropos from mono reproduction to center channel speaker placement to sound reinforcement in large halls. It also addresses various psycho-acoustical phenomena (notably the relative inability of the human to localize sounds in the vertical plane!)

Parrot Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Interesting stuff. I would disagree, though, with the author about two eyes being required for depth perception. An elegant demonstration is: Close one of your eyes. The world does not suddenly become 2D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonfyr Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 Your depth perception (stereopsis) is gone with only one eye! All you have at this point is the limited ability to ascertain relative position to other objects via Relative size Interposition Linear perspective Aerial perspective Light and shade Monocular movement parallax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Those 6 capabilities seem to be plenty sufficient then! There are plenty of people who function just fine with one eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonfyr Posted September 20, 2005 Author Share Posted September 20, 2005 And there are plenty of people who enjoy music with one ear! But nevertheless the ability to optimally and accurately localize visually or auditorily is lost. We are not attempting to pass judgment as to whether we should just cull these folks from the population!! But it does justifiably eliminate them from consideration for certain jobs, etc. based upon impaired capabilities. We are simply speaking of the auditory 'prowess' afforded by stereo vision and/or hearing. So are you going to be the one to make the case for the insurance companies that the loss of sight in one eye or of hearing in one ear is not a compensable injury...that it is not a functional injury, but only simply a 'cosmetic' inconvenience?[6][] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
