Abstract
A person is provided with the ability to auditorily determine the spatial geometry of his current physical environment. A spatial map of the current physical environment of the person is generated. The spatial map is then used to generate a spatialized audio representation of the environment. The spatialized audio representation is then output to a stereo listening device which is being worn by the person.
