Methods to engage users in the design process rely predominantly on visual techniques, such as paper prototypes, to facilitate the expression and communication of design ideas. The visual nature of these tools makes ...

We present a detailed description of the design and integration of auditory and haptic displays in a collaborative diagram editing tool to allow simultaneous visual and non-visual interaction. The tool was deployed in ...

This paper describes the development of a system that uses sonification to assist cyclist’s navigation. The focus of the paper is on the design process, the decisions made and the methods used to make design choices. An ...

This paper details work toward the design of a method for creating auditory displays for the human-computer interface, based on soundtrack composition. We begin with the benefits to this approach before discussing methods ...

This paper presents a study undertaken to evaluate user ratings on auditory feedback of sound source selection within a multi-track auditory environment where sound placement is controlled by a gesture control system. ...

In this paper we shall briefly review previous work we have found directly relevant to our own research on the use of auditory graphs. We will then summarise previous unpublished experiences of us- ing auditory graphs in ...

The vast majority of computer interfaces do not translate well onto non-visual displays (e.g. for blind users, wearable/mobile computing, etc). Screen readers are the most prevalent aural technology to expose graphical ...

We describe the development and evaluation of across-modal XML (Extensible Mark-up Language) schema browser. The aim of developing the system is to investigate cross-modal collaboration between users. The browser provides ...

We present an approach that examines the design of auditory displays for accessing graphically represented information in terms of their roles as external representations. This approach describes how a cross-modal translation ...
