(2003). “Siren Songs and Swan Songs: Debugging with Music.” Communications of the ACM, in press46(7). • 2 MSc students working on Java auralisations • Preparing EPSRC bid to look at auditory/visual external representations in program comprehension Dr Paul Vickers

  4. EARCADE • External Auditory Representations in Program Comprehension and Debugging • To compare auralisations with visualisations • Program flow, data flow, data structure • Anticipate multimodal representations to be very powerful Dr Paul Vickers

  5. Accessibility & AD for the elderly • Publications: • Sainz-Salces, F. J., England, D. & Vickers, P. (2002). Multimodal Human-Computer Interface, in Proc Vol 2 HCI 2002: 16th British HCI Group Annual Conference, London, UK, 2-6 September. • Sainz-Salces, F. J., England, D. & Vickers, P. (2003). Household Appliances Control Device for the Elderly, in ProcICAD '03 9th International Conference on Auditory Display, Boston, MA, 7-9 July. • Reworking EPSRC bid to develop an equal opportunities interface • ACM Conference on Universal Usability 2003 • Program Committee • Submitted a paper: “Designing for the elderly and visually impaired” (Sainz Salces, F.J., England, D., & Vickers, P.) • Submitted short paper to HCI 2003 “Household Appliance Control: Designing for the Elderly” Dr Paul Vickers

  6. Domotics for the Elderly (PhD project) • Designing interfaces that can support independent living for elderly and disabled people • Prototype home appliance monitoring and control system • Multimodal interface incorporating icons and earcons • Much more efficient than visual interface alone • Memorability of tunes an issue Dr Paul Vickers

  7. Mobile usability • Presentations: • Buranatrived, J. & Vickers, P. (2002). An Investigation of the Impact of Mobile Phone and PDA Interfaces on the Usability of Mobile-Commerce Applications, in ProcProc IWNA5: 5th IEEE International Workshop on Networked Appliances, Liverpool, UK, 30-31 October.

  8. Auditory Texture Evaluation • Support of online purchasing of apples • Sal Fiore and I are setting up experiment to see if the addition of the sounds of biting apples to an e-commerce site: • Increases users’ ability to generate accurate expectations of apple characteristics • And/or increases users’ confidence in their choice of apples for online purchasing Dr Paul Vickers
