Toward a sound design methodology: Application to electronic automotive sound
(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
(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 ... -
Real-time, head-tracked 3D audio with unlimited simultaneous sounds

Sonification as a tool to reconstruct user's actions in unobservabe areas
(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 ... -
The effect of pitch shifts on the identification of environmental sounds: Design considerations for the modification of sounds in auditory displays
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)To examine the plausibility of dynamically adjusting the sounds presented by an auditory display, a study addressing the effects of pitch shifting on the identifiability of a set of forty-one environmental sounds was carried ... -
Interaction patterns for auditory user interfaces
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)This paper proposes the use of interaction patterns in the design process of auditory displays in human-computer interaction. To avoid introducing visual concepts in auditory design, a common ground for developing user ... -
Recent studies on the effect of signal frequency on auditory vertical localization
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)The authors have been involved in a series of studies showing that the fundamental frequency of a complex tone, the center frequency of a noise band, or the cut-off frequencies of simultaneously presented high- and low-passed ... -
Soundsense: Sonifying pryroelectric sensor data for an interactive media event
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)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 ... -
Hearing Varese's Poeme Electronique inside a virtual philips pavilion
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)Topic of this paper is an interactive sound reproduction system to create virtual sonic environments to visual spaces, called Virtual Audio Reproduction Engine for Spatial Environments (VARESE). Using VARESE, Edgard Varèse's ... -
A Study of Spatial Cognition in an Immersive Virtual Audio Environment: Comparing Blind and Blindfolded Individuals
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)This study presents the combined efforts of three research groups toward the investigation of a cognitive issue through the development and implementation of a general purpose VR environment that incorporates a high ... -
Encoding urgency in legacy audio alerting systems
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)Despite ongoing modernization efforts, the U.S. Navy expects that it will continue to make highly effective use of legacy systems for many years to come. This and a mandate to maintain fully mission capable platforms have ... -
Cueing hyperlinks in auditory interfaces
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)This paper describes two empirical experiments investigating the perception of embedded audible hyperlinks, designed using speech and non-speech cues, and their effect on the comprehension of synthetic speech. Results from ... -
Dimensional design: Explorations of the auditory and haptic correlate for the mobile device
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)Designing for the mobile device currently allows for the exploration of additional dimensions beyond that of simple graphic treatment. The relationship between two of these dimensions, audio and haptics is discussed here. ... -
Auditory display of genome data: Human chromosome 21
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)The motivation for this paper is to systematically explore the efficacy of mapping data to sound parameters with the specific aim of sonifying statistical trends and hearing the `gist' [1] of the data. In this paper, we ... -
A suggested agenda for auditory graph research
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)This paper presents one option for a research agenda for future work in auditory graphs. The main agenda items suggested are effectiveness of auditory graphs; sonification tools; role of memory and attention; real-world ... -
