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 ... -
Candidates for within-vehicle auditory displays
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)Speech, auditory icons (sounds imitating real world events), environmental sounds (naturally occurring sounds), and abstract warnings are all candidates for user interfaces. Such auditory displays and warnings for ... -
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. ... -
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 ... -
Creating an empirical framework for sonification design
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)Sonification research and design is held back by a lack of empirical evidence on which to base design decisions. The purpose of this paper is to identify the crucial decisions that need to be made at each stage of the ... -
Brief training for performance of a point estimation sonification task
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)This study examined different types of brief training for a point estimation task with auditory graphs. Participants estimated the price of a stock at a specific times in a 10-hour trading day as depicted in a sonified ... -
Explore the matrix: Browsing numerical data tables using sound
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)When first approaching a two-dimensional (2D) data table, a user often wants to get a quick overview of the data before analysing them in more detail. Blind and visually impaired people cannot do this task at all using ... -
Blind flight: Do auditory lane departure warnings attract attention or actual guide action?
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)This paper presents a research project concerning the effect of an auditory lane departure warning in a driving simulator experiment. The experimental design is chosen to induce drowsiness-related lane departures. We only ... -
A system for real-time virtual auditory space
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)The understanding of how people perceive spatially dynamic sound sources is limited, due in part to the difficulty of controlling dy- namic environmental interactions. Free field solutions require large rooms with bulky ... -
A comparision of audio & visual analysis of complex time-series data sets
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)This paper describes an experiment to compare user understanding of complex data sets presented in two different modalities, a) in a visual spectrogram, and b) via audification. Many complex time-series data sets taken ... -
Auditory graphs: The effects of redundant dimensions and divided attention
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)An experiment is presented comparing the effectiveness of three parameters of sound for the auditory presentation of statistical data or auditory graphs. The dimensions of pitch, loudness, and time were used alone and ... -
An agenda for research and development of multimodal graphs
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)Effective multimodal graphing tools can be beneficial to both sighted and visually impaired students and scientists. However, before this can become a reality, considerable research is required on the auditory graphing ... -
An examination of mechanisms to combine speech and sound for data analysis
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)Speech based screen reader technology provides the most com- mon means for visually impaired users to access spreadsheets and databases. Such a spoken word interface can be effective if rela- tively small amounts of data ... -
Auditory representation of visual stimuli: Mapping versus association
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)Two methods for representing visual images by sounds were explored. The analytic method used a rule-based representation by which values of continuous auditory variables defined each point in space. The metaphoric method ... -
Auditory graphs: A summary of current experience and towards a research agenda
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)In this paper we shall briefly review previous work we have found directly relevant to our own research on the use of auditory graphs. We will then summarise previous unpublished experiences of us- ing auditory graphs in ... -
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 ... -
Gesture interaction with spatial audio displays: Effects of target size and inter-target separation
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)This paper presents the results of an experiment comparing two spatial audio display segmentation techniques by investi-gating the relative salience of target width versus distance to target in a gesture based spatial audio ... -
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 ... -
Effects of speech and non-speech sounds on short-term memory and possible implications for in-vehicle use
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)Using auditory output for presenting non-critical but relevant events to the car driver, we compared the effect of four groups of sounds (two speech, two non-speech) on short-term memory and on response time and accuracy. ...
