Spatial Sound Concepts for F-Formations in Social VR
In the Proceedings of the 2021 Social VR Workshop - A New Medium for Remote Communication and Collaboration, 2021-05-07 (bib)

Directional audio is key for fluent conversations in the virtual world. To allow directional audio, F-formations (facing formations) are core to understand the constellation between conversation partners. We present our approach to developing a sound concept in Social VR based on F-formations. For this, we introduce several F-formations and explain requirements for the sound design. We discuss our first experiences in observing several communication situations.
