This chapter looks at a range of auditory display and sonification applications that have
tackled the problem of monitoring real-time data streams and concludes with some …

In recent years, a large number of research projects have focused on the use of auditory
representations in a broadened scope of application scenarios. Results in such projects …

This thesis investigates the design of Tactons: structured vibrotactile messages for
presenting multidimensional information non-visually. Tactons (tactile icons) are the tactile …

In the context of emergency warnings, auditory icons, which convey information about
system events by analogy with everyday events, have the potential to be understood more …

This paper reports two experiments relating to the design of Tactons (or tactile icons). The
first experiment investigated perception of vibro-tactile" roughness"(created using amplitude …

Background It is widely accepted that emotion processing difficulties are involved in Autism
Spectrum Conditions (ASC). An increasing number of studies have focused on the …

Both sonification and visualization convey information about data by effectively using our
human perceptual system, but their ways to transform the data differ. Over the past 30 years …

This article describes 3 experiments that investigate the possibiity of using structured
nonspeech audio messages called earcons to provide navigational cues in a menu …

There is a lack of guidelines for designers to use when creating sounds for their interfaces.
This paper proposes a set of general guidelines for the creation of earcons based upon six …

The prospect of computer applications making “noises” is disconcerting to some. Yet the
soundscape of the real world does not usually bother us. Perhaps we only notice a …
