      Suied, Clara; Susini, Patrick; Misdariis, Nicolas; Langlois, Sabine; Smith, Bennett K; McAdams, Stephen (Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)
      In the field of Human Machine Interfaces (HMI), there is a potential to convey numerous different messages by non- verbal-sounds. In the eighties, different approaches to the design of information-bearing sounds were ...

    • Effect of aesthetics on audio-enhanced graphical buttons 

      Ronkainen, Sami; Hakkila, Jonna; Pasanen, Leena (Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)
      In this paper, two different auditory feedback schemes related to graphical buttons are compared to each other and to a visual- only condition. The results show that aesthetically pleasing auditory design is clearly preferred ...

      Jin, Craig; Tan, Teewon; Kan, Alan; Lin, Dennis; Schaik, Andre van; Smith, Keir; McGinity, Matthew (Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)
      This research presents a novel 3D audio playback method in which real-time head-tracking is maintained with an unlimited number of simultaneous sound sources. The method presented relies on using a 500-900MByte sound buffer ...

    • Sonification as a tool to reconstruct user's actions in unobservabe areas 

      Fleck, Christian; Daye, Christian; de Campo, Alberto; de Campo, Marianne Egger; Edelmayer, Georg; Mayer, Peter; Panek, Paul (Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)
      This paper deals with the sonification of log data gathered during a field test of an innovative toilet system. These tests have been carried out in a day care center for multiple sclerosis patients in winter 2004/05 in ...

    • Using the major and minor mode to create affectively-charged earcons 

      Lemmens, Paul M.C (Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)
      The importance of the structured fabrication of auditory (feedback) signals like earcons is common knowledge in the ICAD community. To create such structured families of earcons musical transformations like rhythm or pitch ...
