Pilot Situational Awareness (SA), namely, the pilot's ability to accurately perceive, understand and predict events, is an essential requirement of effective decision-making [1]. Good `visibility' of aircraft state and ...

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 ...

Nowadays, Audio Description is used to enable visually impaired people to access films. However, it presents an important limitation, which consists in the need of the visually impaired audiences to rely on a describer, ...

Computing technologies turn everyday artifacts into narrative, pro- cedural objects. This observation suggests that the narrative sound design strategies used in films and video games could also be ap- plied for the design ...

This monograph reviews current knowledge in the design of auditory caution and warning signals, and sets criteria for development of 'best practices' for designing new signals for NASA's Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) and ...

This paper presents an overview of the work on Auditory User Interface (AUI) design at the LG Electronics Corporate Design Center, where the author was responsible for all of the AUI designs from 2005 to 2008. The definition ...

The van Noorden Diagram describes the auditory streaming of two tones with changes in pitch difference and intertone onset interval (IOI). There are regions where the listener hears one stream or two streams, and an ambiguous ...

An overview or glance is important in planning the reading process. Such a high-level view is not possible for a blind person when reading by listening. This paper describes the sonification of algebra notation to provide ...

The design of effective auditory displays requires an understanding of both capabilities and response proclivities. This disti ctionis explained in relation to a variety of auditory tasks and a range of acoustic stimuli. ...

Current research in auditory interfaces has produced a number of interesting interfaces without resulting in the compilation of design guidelines for creating descendent interfaces. This lack of a common design methodology ...
