Spacesuits may block external sound. This induces sensory deprivation; a side effect is lower cognitive performance. This can increase the risk of an accident. This undesirable effect can be mitigated by designing suits with sound transparency. If the atmosphere is available, as on Mars, sound transparency can be realized by augmenting and processing external sounds. If no atmosphere is available, such as on the Moon, then an Earth-like sound can be re-created via generative AR techniques. We measure the effect of adding sound transparency in an Intra-Vehicular Activity suit by means of the Koh Block test. The results indicate that participants complete the test more quickly when wearing a suit with sound transparency.
太空服可能会阻隔外部声音。这会导致感觉剥夺;其副作用是认知能力下降。这会增加事故风险。通过设计具有声音透明度的太空服,可以减轻这种不良影响。如果有大气层,比如在火星上,可以通过增强和处理外部声音来实现声音透明度。如果没有大气层,比如在月球上,那么可以通过生成式增强现实技术重新创造类似地球的声音。我们通过科赫方块测试来测量在舱内活动太空服中增加声音透明度的效果。结果表明,参与者穿着具有声音透明度的太空服时能更快完成测试。
