N2 - An augmented-reality audio system ideally provides a means to present virtual auditory space stimuli to a listener, without distorting the listener's normal spatial hearing. In this work, we conduct a psychoacoustic experiment to evaluate both the virtual and real sound localisation fidelity of an augmented-reality audio system based on acoustically-transparent ear shells. In addition to being acoustically-transparent, the ear shells are comfortable to wear and relatively discrete and thus provide an attractive platform for presenting augmented-reality spatial audio. The results of the sound localisation tests indicate that high-fidelity spatial audio, i.e., spherical correlation coefficient generally greater than 0.87, but with individual variations, can be obtained.
