Abstract

In this paper, we present a preliminary experiment whose goal is
to assess the role of temporal aspects in sonically simulating the
act of walking on a bump or a hole. In particular, we investigate
whether the timing between heel and toe and the timing between
footsteps affects the perception of walking on unflat surfaces. Results
show that it is possible to simulate a bump or a hole by only
using temporal information in the auditory modality.
