The effect of Music on Learning in Virtual Environments - Initial Results
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)In this paper we discuss the effect of music on learning in virtual-immersive environments. Auditory stimuli were presented within a specialized display system in which seventy- two undergraduate students watched a 3-D ... -
The Effect of Spatialization in a Data Sonification Exploration Task
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)This study presents an exploration task using interactive sonification to compare different sonification mapping concepts. Based on the real application of protein-protein docking within the CoRSAIRe project (´ Combinaisons ... -
Effects of Temporal Fine Structure on the Localization of Broadband Sounds: Potential Implications for the Design of Spatial Audio Displays
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)In the design of symbology for spatial audio displays, a great deal of emphasis has been placed on the importance of bandwidth for achieving robust localization accuracy. However, there are some cases where the temporal ... -
Efficiency of Spearcon-Enhanced Navigation of One Dimensional Electronic Menus
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)This study investigated navigation through a cell phone menu in the presence of auditory cues (text-to-speech and spearcons), visual cues, or both. A total of 127 undergraduates navigated through a 50-item alphabetically ... -
Encoding and Representation of Information in Auditory Graphs: Descriptive Reports of Listener Strategies for Understanding Data
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)While a growing wealth of data have offered insights into the best practices for auditory display design and application, little is known about how listeners internally represent and use the information presented in auditory ... -
Evaluating Listeners' Attention to and Comprehension of Spatialized Concurrent and Serial Talkers at Normal and a Synthetically Faster Rate of Speech
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)Concurrent voice communications workload has been identified as a pivotal issue for desired reductions in the size of Navy watchstanding teams on future platforms. Without effective augmenting technologies, real increases ... -
Evaluation of User Habits for Creating Auditory Representations of Different Software Applications for Blind Persons
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)Blind and visually disabled persons use special software environments – such as Windows-Eyes, JAWS, screen-readers, text-to-speech programs – to access personal computers. These software solutions may offer sound samples ... -
Exploration of 4D-Data Spaces. Sonification in Lattice QCD
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)We describe a pilot study on the sonification of data from lattice Quantum Chromodynamics, a branch of computational physics. This data is basically 4-dimensional and discretized on a lattice. The implementation allows ... -
Exploratory Sound Analysis: Sonifying Data About Sound
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)Sound is commonly analysed subjectively by listening to it. However, when we want to analyse a sound objectively, we often switch domains, and change to visual or numerical displays. While it is likely that, generally ... -
Haptic Sound: Expressive Control of Song Playback Using Haptics
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)Haptics devices are an excellent tool to add user feel and expression to applications. For music software they can provide realistic simulations of real world instruments, or heighten the experience of interacting with ... -
Individualization Feature of Head-Related Transfer Functions Based on Subjective Evaluation
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)To realize a three-dimensional virtual sound image with a Virtual Auditory Display (VAD), it is important to individualize Head Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs) for listeners. The purpose of the present study was to ... -
Influence of performance gestures on the identification of spatial sound trajectories in a concert hall
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)An experimental study was performed on the effects of the visibility of a performer's gestures on the identification of virtual sound trajectories in the concert hall. We found that when working in synchrony, the performer's ... -
Internet-Based Interactive Auditory Virtual Environment Generators
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)In this paper we investigate general design considerations and practical implementation aspects for Internet-based interactive auditory virtual environments (I-AVE) for the post-PC era. An implementation of such an AVE ... -
The IPEM_EME: a Wireless Music Controller for Real-time Music Interaction
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)The IPEM_EME is a sound and music controller based on wireless motion sensors and concepts of embodied music cognition. This paper and demonstration aims at further testing the public acceptability of the IPEM_EME. -
Kernel Regression Mapping for Vocal Eeg Sonification
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)This paper introduces kernel regression mapping sonifica- tion (KRMS) for optimized mappings between data features and the parameter space of Parameter Mapping Sonification. Kernel regression allows to map data spaces to ... -
The Laughing Swing: Interacting with Non-Verbal Human Voice
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)This paper looks at non-speech uses of the human voice in interactive objects. A collection of projects using non-verbal voice, as input and as output, is briefly reviewed. The Laughing Swing - an interactive object using ... -
Learnabiltiy of Sound Cues for Environmental Features: Auditory Icons, Earcons, Spearcons, and Speech
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)Awareness of features in our environment is essential for many daily activities. While often awareness of such features comes from vision, this modality is sometimes unavailable or undesirable. In these instances, auditory ... -
Localization of Virtual Sound Created Using Individualized and Non-Individualized HRTF for Direct and Reflected Sound
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)Good sound localization is an essential factor required for virtual auditory display (VAD) systems. These systems especially those based on the Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) often encounter the problem where the ... -
