TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the audio-visual impact of a projected motorway project on people by means of immersive virtual reality technology and found that noise due to the new infrastructure seems to exert a negative influence on short term verbal memory and to increase both visual and noise annoyance.

TL;DR: A case study, where a sample of residents living close to a railway line assessed noise-related aspects for several barriers with different visual characteristics in an IVR laboratory test showed that for transparent barriers Perceived Loudness and Noise Annoyance were judged lower than for opaque barriers; this difference increased as noise level increased.

TL;DR: By using the Immersive Virtual Reality technique, some visual and acoustical aspects of the impact of a wind farm on a sample of subjects were assessed and analyzed and showed that, regarding the number of wind turbines, the visual component has a weak effect on individual reactions, while the colour influences both visual and auditory individual reaction, although in a different way.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated if acoustic and visual stimuli of an simulated environment in immersive virtual reality (IVR) were sufficiently congruent with their correspondent elements in the real context.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multisensory methodology is used to assess acoustic comfort aboard different real-world metros by means of subjective annoyance and cognitive performance measures, and the results showed that cognitive performances were worse in the bimodal than in the unimodal condition.
