This paper describes a framework for integrating non-speech audio to hierarchical menu structures where the visual feedback is limited. In the first part of this paper, emphasis is put on how to extract sound design ...

Patients with lack of proprioception are unable to build and maintain `internal models' of their limbs and monitor their limb movements because these patients do not receive the appropriate information from muscles and ...

We report results of an auditory navigation experiment. In auditory navigation sound is employed as a navigational aid in a virtual environment. In our experiment, the test task was to find a sound source in a dynamic ...

This paper presents an application of a low cost, lightweight audio-only augmented reality infrastructure. The system uses a simple wearable computer and a RF based location system to play digital sounds corresponding to ...

During Fall 2002, planetary scientists and astronomy education researchers from the University of Arizona and the National Optical Astronomy Observatory collaborated with composer Marty Quinn of Design Rhythmics Sonification ...

Spatialized sound technology is under consideration for use in future U. S. Navy watchstation systems as a technique to manage attention. In this study, we looked at whether spatialized sound would reduce head movements. ...

The Haptic Music system allows up to three people to collaboratively create music in a jazz style. The users can have varying musical backgrounds, and even a novice can use his/her creativity to create a novel composition. ...

In speech interactions, people routinely reason about each other’s auditory perspective and adjust their manner of speaking accordingly by raising their voice to overcome noise or distance, and sometimes by pausing and ...

Collaborations between artists, engineers, and scientists often occur when creating new media works. These interdisciplinary efforts must overcome the ideals and practical-limitations inherent in both artistic and research ...

The purpose of this study is to explore the possibility of multimodal bivariate thematic maps by utilizing auditory and haptic displays. With four different modes of display, the completion time of tasks and the recall ...
