Abstract
In this paper, we present an experiment whose goal was to recognize the role of contextual information in the recognition of environmental sounds. Forty three subjects participated to a between-subjects experiment where they were asked to walk on a limited area in a laboratory, while the illusion of walking on diffe- rent surfaces was simulated, with and without an accompa- nying soundscape. Results show that, in some conditions, adding a soundscape significantly improves surfaces’ recognition.
