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 ... -
Approaches to auditory interface design - Lessons from computer games
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)The computer game has begun to establish itself within the wider entertainment industry, and has thus attracted considerable interest from more general interaction designers. However, while computer game audio has become ... -

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 ... -
Auditory graphs of real-time data
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)The advantages of auditory display for monitoring real-time data are discussed. Parallels between the structures of real-time data and music are emphasized as potentially fruitful areas of research. The Accentus LLC design ... -
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 We will then summarise previous unpublished experiences of us- ing auditory graphs in ...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 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 ... -
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 ... -
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 brief history of auditory data representation to the 1980s
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)The field of Auditory Data Representation, which addresses the representation of quantitative data through the use of auditory, rather than visual, displays, has seen considerable activity in the last twenty years. On 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 ... -
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 ... -
A case study on the planned and actual use of auditory feeback and audio cues in the realization of a personal virtual assistant
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)In the following paper, the concept of a Personal Virtual Assistant (PVA) is developed and a collection of user interface problems are enumerated and explained. For each of these areas, this paper discusses how audio ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
The detectability of headtracker latency in virtual audio displays
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)A critical engineering parameter in the design of interactive virtual audio displays is the maximum amount of latency that can be tolerated between the movement of the listener's head and the corresponding change in the ... -
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 ... -
The effect of auditory spatial layout in a divided attention task
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2005-07)The effect of spatial separation on the ability of listeners to report keywords from two simultaneous talkers was examined. The talkers were presented with equal intensity at a clearly audible level, and were designed to ...
