چکیده

This paper describes the development process of Senses@Clipart, a tool designed to support multisensory communication. Senses@Clipart is a library of images, non-spoken sounds and sensory textual descriptions that was developed to be integrated in an environmental monitoring collaborative website. It can be used as a case library to support environmental public participation, offering visual, aural and olfactory views of the environment and of its quality. Sounds, pictorial icons and text are used to annotate photographs in order to highlight objects or their absence. The development of Senses@Clipart has been supported by users’ participation both in content production and interface design.
