Audio Bubbles: Employing Non-speech Audio to Support Tourist Wayfinding
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce the concept of Audio Bubbles virtual spheres filled with audio that are geocentered on physical landmarks, providing navigational homing information for a user to more easily locate the landmark. We argue that the way in which tourists navigate is not well supported by traditional visual maps, and that Audio Bubbles better support the serendipitous discovery and homing behaviours exhibited in such tourist activities. We present a study comparing Audio Bubbles to a visual map in a real world navigation task. Navigation with Audio Bubbles appeared to be faster and was preferred by most of the participants. We discuss the findings and outline our future development plans.

Cipher text only attack on speech time scrambling systems using correction of audio spectrogram
Recently permutation multimedia ciphers were broken in a chosen-plaintext scenario. That attack models a very resourceful adversary which may not always be the case. To show insecurity of these ciphers, we present a cipher-text only attack on speech permutation ciphers. We show inherent redundancies of speech can pave the path for a successful cipher-text only attack. To that end, regularities ...
متن کامل3D Graphics Visualization and Context Information Service for a Virtual Tourist System
In this paper, we present a virtual tourist system with real-time 3D visualization and the assistance of context information service. Our system enables a visitor to take a discovering tour on a virtual environment from a remote client by following navigator or by self-navigating. During the tour, the system provides immersive 3D graphics contents while supporting relevant information to the vi...
متن کاملLocation-Aware Mobile Eye-Tracking for the Explanation of Wayfinding Behavior
This paper proposes location-aware mobile eye-tracking as a new method for the explanation of wayfinding behavior. We argue that the recording and analysis of an individual’s visual attention during wayfinding can provide insights into her spatial abilities and employed wayfinding strategies. Examples from an explorative pilot study with a pedestrian audio guide in an urban context illustrate t...
متن کاملSpeech and Non-Speech Audio-Visual Illusions: A Developmental Study
It is well known that simultaneous presentation of incongruent audio and visual stimuli can lead to illusory percepts. Recent data suggest that distinct processes underlie non-specific intersensory speech as opposed to non-speech perception. However, the development of both speech and non-speech intersensory perception across childhood and adolescence remains poorly defined. Thirty-eight observ...
متن کاملContent Classification of Multimedia Documents using Partitions of Low-Level Features
Audio-visual documents obtained from German TV news are classified according to the IPTC topic categorization scheme. To this end usual text classification techniques are adapted to speech, video, and non-speech audio. For each of the three modalities word analogues are generated: sequences of syllables for speech, “video words” based on low level color features (color moments, color correlogra...
