We propose that the most powerful method of auditory cueing takes direct advantage of human perceptual capabilities, providing a dynamic, multidimensional pattern of events which conveys meaning about objects in the spatial world. Applications of such a three-dimensional auditory display involve any context in which the user's situational awareness is critical, particularly when visual cues are limited or absent. Examples include air traffic control displays, advanced teleconferencing environments, and monitoring telerobotic activities in hazardous situations.
