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 …

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

One difficulty for interface design on mobile computers is lack of screen space caused by
their small size. This paper describes a small pilot study and two formal experiments that …

The bulk of applications for haptic feedback employ direct rendering approaches wherein a
user touches a virtual model of some “real” thing, often displayed graphically as well. We …

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

With ever increasing amounts of visual information to take in when interacting with
computers, users can become overloaded. One reason is that computers communicate …

Two investigations into the identification of concurrently presented, structured sounds, called
earcons were carried out. One of the experiments investigated how varying the number of …

Through a set of participatory design (PD) sessions with children with visual impairments
and their educators, we understood current practices in maths teaching, and designed a …

This paper explores the combination of multiple concurrent modalities for conveying
emotional information in HCI: temperature, vibration and abstract visual displays. Each …

The research presented here describes a pilot study into the interpretation of sonified line
graphs containing two data series. The experiment aimed to discover the level of accuracy …
