| summary |
This paper addresses the issue of escape from unfamiliar, smoke filled buildings such as hotels or airports where the scenario of complete visual deprivation may result in occupant death. It proposes that we may be able to apply concise auditory information to the escape procedure, using predictive 'virtual acoustic' techniques in order to assess its feasibility. |
