  1. The Auditory Perspective of Interfaces A Brief Overview

  2. Introduction Figure 1. Related Fields • Fairly new field of research • Has roots in various disciplines • Strong background in providing for the visually impaired • Focus of my research report • Audio Cues • Exploratory Data Analysis • Some forms of models/frameworks

  3. Audio Cues • Auditory Icons • Based on natural sounds • Should make sense • Earcons • Generated non-contextual sounds • Use in auditory displays

  4. Audio Cues - Spearcons • Fairly new area of audio cues • “Speeding up a spoken phrase until it is not recognized as speech” • Language-dependent • Similar output from text-to-speech applications (e.g, JAWS) • Example from GATech Sonification Lab: • link

  5. Exploratory Data Analysis • Sonifications aid exploration of analysis • Branches of study: • Perceptibility and comprehension of sonifications • Models for mapping data to sound • Lack of research into models & frameworks • Saue’s temporal exploratory sonification model • Temporalization • ‘Walking’ metaphor

  6. Models & Frameworks • Models • Repertory Grid • Similarity Rating/Scaling • Ear-witness Accounts • Styles of Frameworks • TaDA (Task and Data Analysis) • Narrative Sound Artefacts • Pattern-Based
