Auditory Recognition of Floor Surfaces by Temporal and Spectral Cues of Walking
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)In a multiple choice auditory experimental task, listeners had to discriminate walks over floors made of concrete, wood, gravel, or dried twigs. Sound stimuli were obtained by mixing temporal and spectral signal components, ... -
The sound of Rowing Stroke Cycles as Acoustic Feedback
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)Acoustic feedback offers promising opportunities to enhance the perception of athletes in regards of the modification of movement patterns and control in technique training. Sound conveys time-critical structures that are ... -
AUDIFICATION AS A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL FOR EXPLORATORY HELIOSPHERIC DATA ANALYSIS
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)To date, scientific data analysis is almost exclusively conducted through the visual modality, though the perceptual benefits of multi-modal stimulation are well known [1]. Visualization tools utilize parameters such ... -
The Immersive Audio Environment - Implementation, Subjective Test, and Results
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)The effectiveness of virtual environments depends largely on how efficiently they recreate the real world. In the case of auditory virtual environments, the importance of accurate recreation is enhanced since there are no ... -
Simulating the Electroweak Phase Transition: Sonification of Bubble Nucleation
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)As an applicaton of sonification, a simulation of the early uni- verse was developed to portray the phase transition that occurred shortly after the Big Bang. The Standard Model of particle physics postulates that a ... -
Redundancy Versus Complexity in Auditory Displays for Object Localization - A Pilot Study
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)In user interfaces, redundancy is often an indication of good design. Several studies [1,2,3], showed that when visual, haptic or other display types were combined with an auditory display, the result was an enhanced user ... -
A QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION APPROACH TO SONIFICATIONS
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)Different evaluation approaches have been taken within the field of sonification. This paper introduces methods of the multi-criteria decision aid (MCDA) to the field. Different stakeholders are taken into account. In ... -
Auditory Cues for Gestural Control of Multi-Track Audio
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)This paper presents a study undertaken to evaluate user ratings on auditory feedback of sound source selection within a multi-track auditory environment where sound placement is controlled by a gesture control system. ... -
Chronoroom Clock: Peripheral Time Awareness Through Sound Localization
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)Our auditory perception skills enable us to selectively place one auditory channel in the center of our attention while monitoring others in the periphery. Furthermore, we are able to accurately localize sound sources. In ... -
Comprehending Synthetically Accelerated Speech: The Relationship Between Performance and Self-confidence
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)The present study examines the ability to comprehend speech presented at synthetically accelerated rates in an auditory display environment. We sought to determine whether listeners could accurately predict their own ... -
On the Road to Design: Developing a Sonified Route Navigator for Cyclists
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)This paper describes the development of a system that uses sonification to assist cyclist’s navigation. The focus of the paper is on the design process, the decisions made and the methods used to make design choices. An ... -
Interactive Auditory Display to Support Situational Awareness in Video Surveillance
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)A key element for efficient video surveillance is situational awareness. Characteristics of human perception (e.g., inattentional blindness) as well as surveillance practice (e.g., CCTV operators have multiple responsibilities) ... -
PC-Based Real Time Sonification of Human Motion Captured by Inertial Sensors
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)This paper presents a low latency system for real time sonification of human motion captured by inertial sensors. Exemplarily the position of the wrist estimated by two inertial sensors located at upper arm and forearm is ... -
Object Fusion and Localization Dominance in Real Time Spatial Processing of Acoustics Sources Using Higher Order Ambisonics
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)The psycho-acoustic properties fusion and localization dominance were measured for a rotating target and a fixed-position distractor, which was a delayed copy of the target. Higher-order Ambisonics was used for spatial ... -
Interactive Sonification Monitoring in Evolutionary Optimization
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)This case study introduces interactive sonification to evolu- tionary strategies (ES) for global optimization. We briefly describe the specific strengths of sonification as a tool for monitoring, the emerging trend of ... -
To What Extent do Listeners use Aural Information When it is Present
(International Community for Auditory Display, 2011-06)In three of the manipulations in a 2009 dual-task performance study, virtual auditory cues were used to alert participants to the onset of three kinds of decision events in the secondary, but more demanding of the two ... -
