Sound design and perception in walking interactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reviews the state of the art in the display and perception of walking generated sounds and tactile vibrations, and their current and potential future uses in interactive systems. As non-visual information sources that are closely linked to human activities in diverse environments, such signals are capable of communicating about the spaces we traverse and activities we encounter in familiar and intuitive ways. However, in order for them to be effectively employed in human–computer interfaces, significant knowledge is required in areas including the perception of acoustic signatures of walking, and the design, engineering, and evaluation of interfaces that utilize them. Much of this expertise has accumulated in recent years, although many questions remain to be explored. We highlight past work and current research directions in this multidisciplinary area of investigation, and point to potential future trends. r 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

متن کاملMultisensory integration with a head-mounted display and auditory display
Human operators who use head-mounted displays (HMDs) in their work may benefit from auditory support. It is unclear whether auditory support is better delivered in free-field or via earpiece, and what the effect of walking is. To examine this problem, a novel multisensory integration task was created in which participants identified mismatches between sounds and visual information on an HMD. Pa...
متن کاملThe Production and Perception of Emotionally Expressive Walking Sounds: Similarities between Musical Performance and Everyday Motor Activity
Several studies have investigated the encoding and perception of emotional expressivity in music performance. A relevant question concerns how the ability to communicate emotions in music performance is acquired. In accordance with recent theories on the embodiment of emotion, we suggest here that both the expression and recognition of emotion in music might at least in part rely on knowledge a...

متن کاملInfluence of structural variability upon sound perception : Usefulness of fractional factorial designs
The present paper introduces an efficient and time-saving approach for the evaluation of the consequences of structural uncertainties on sound perception. Its aim is to validate the use of fractional factorial designs for perceptual assessment of a model system. A test bench was used, which allowed to accurately control the variability of several structural design parameters. Sounds emitted by ...
