A principled design methodology for auditory interaction

Computer Science

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution

Abstract

When the visual channel of communication is unavailable, non-visual user interfaces must be developed. The proposed methodology aims at the specification of auditory representations for interactive tasks. It consists of three interrelated specification levels. Information and supported tasks are specified in abstract terms at the conceptual level. The structure of the auditory scene is specified at the structural level in terms of auditory streams. The physical dimensions of sound are defined at the implementation level. The design guidelines have been validated by the experimental evaluation of a list of auditory checkbox widgets.
