How to tackle auditory interface aesthetics? Discussion and case study
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)This paper discusses the importance of auditory interface aesthetics and presents an empirical investigation of sound aesthetics in context. The theoretical discussion examines the relationship between sound aesthetics and ... -
Interacting with sound: An interaction paradigm for virtual auditory worlds
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)The visual and the auditory field of perception respond on different input signals from our environment. Thus, interacting with worlds solely trough sound is a very challenging task. This paper discusses methods and ... -
Marketbuzz: Sonification of real-time financial dataa
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)A system for the sonification of real-time financial data, currently in use by financial traders in five pilot projects, is described. Anecdotal feedback from the pilot projects suggests that the auditory display is more ... -
Interaction sound feedback in a haptic virtual environment to improve motor skil acquisition
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)This paper describes the concept and the realisation of a research prototype of a haptic environment that is enhanced with sound feedback to impart implicit knowledge and to teach motor skills to trainees. The sound feedback ... -
Localisation of multiple sounds as a function of the duration of the inter-sound gap
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)One issue that arises in relation to the use of three-dimensional audio displays as a means of conveying spatial information to human operators concerns the ability of operators to track the locations of multiple sounds. ... -
Individual differences, cognitive abilities, and the interpretation of auditory graphs
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)Auditory graphs exploit pattern recognition in the auditory system, but questions remain about the relationship between cognitive abilities, demographics, and sonification interpretation. Subjects completed a magnitude ... -
Interactive radio: Exploring visitor stories using a radio interface
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)In this paper, we describe an interactive environment designed and created within a museum context. ``Re-Tracing the Past: Exploring objects, stories and mysteries'' allowed visitors to explore and investigate artefacts ... -
Mobile spatial audio communication system
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)As a first step in studying the application of the global positioning system (GPS) in a spatial audio communication system, an experimental platform was developed using commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) GPS units: a Garmin ... -
Comparing and reusing visualisation and sonification designs using the ms-taxonomy
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)Comparing designs of sonifications is difficult enough but comparing a visual display with a sound display is much harder. Yet the designer of multi-sensory displays would like to make sensible decisions about when to use ... -
Auditory navigation performance is affected by waypoint capture radius
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)Non-speech audio navigation systems can be very effective mobility aids for persons with either temporary or permanent vision loss. Sound design has certainly been shown to be important in such devices [e.g. 1]. In this ... -
Creating functional and livable soundscapes for peripheral monitoring of dynamic data
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)Sonifications must be studied in order to match listener expectancies about data representation in the form of sound. In this study, a system was designed and implemented for dynamically rendering sonifications of simulated ... -
Connecting virtual sound and physical space in audio-augmented environments
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)This paper describes strategies to create multimodal coherences between sound and space in Audio-Augmented Environments. Visitors to AAEs wear motion-tracked wireless headphones displaying a location-aware, adaptive audio ... -
Capture and recreation of higher order 3D sound fields via reciprocity
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)We propose a unified and simple approach for capturing and recreating 3D sound fields by exploring the reciprocity principle that is satisfied between the two processes. Our approach makes the system easy to build, and ... -
Atmospherics/Weather works: A multi-channel storm sonification project
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)Atmospherics/Weather Works is an interdisciplinary project in the sonification of storms and other meteorological events generated directly from data produced by a highly detailed and physically accurate model of weather ... -
Cultivating design patterns for auditory displays
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)Auditory Displays are quite well known in the research community, but very little of this experience is being transferred to product designers. The method of Design Patterns is well known to a number of design domains and ... -
Aural maps, neural futures
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)``If the mental objects of philosophy, art, and science have a place it will be in the deepest synaptic fissures, in the hiatuses, intervals, and mean-times of the non-objectifiable brain, in a place where to go in search ... -
A flexible framework for real-time sonification with sonart
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)We describe significant developments towards a real-time implementation of SonArt, the parameter mapping framework first presented in [1] 1. Enhancements include the incorporation of Open Sound Control (OSC) [2] which ... -
A generic semantically based design approach for spatial auditory computer displays
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)This paper describes a design approach for creating generic computer user interfaces with spatial auditory displays. It proposes a structured depiction process from formulating mode independent descriptions of user interfaces ... -
Auditory versus visual spatial impression: A study of two auditoria
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)Spatial impression refers to the attributes of subjective space beyond localization. In the field of auditorium acoustics, auditory spatial impression is often divided into `apparent source width', `envelopment' and sometimes ... -
