Multimodal Information Management: Evaluation of Auditory and Haptic Cues for NextGen Communication Displays*
نویسندگان
چکیده
Auditory communication displays within the NextGen data link system may use synthetic speech messages to replace voice communications. An interface design for selecting among multiple incoming messages can impact both user performance and preference. Two design factors were evaluated: physical pressure-sensitive switches versus flat panel “virtual switches,” and auditory feedback from switch contact. Performance with stimuli using physical switches was 1.2 s faster than virtual switches (2.0 s vs. 3.2 s); auditory feedback provided a 0.6 s performance advantage (2.3 s vs. 2.9 s). There was no interaction between these variables. Preference data were highly correlated with performance.

Relative Performance Using Haptic and/or Touch-Produced Auditory Cues in a Remote Absolute Texture Identification Task
The current study assessed the relative effectiveness with which unimodal tactile, unimodal touch-produced auditory, and bimodal tactile + auditory cues contribute to the performance of an absolute texture identification task via remote touch. The study contributes to our fundamental understanding of the unimodal perception and intersensory integration of multimodal surface texture cues generat...

How do users generate an illusion of presence in a rich and consistent virtual environment from an impoverished, incomplete, and often inconsistent set of sensory cues? We conducted an experiment to explore how multimodal perceptual cues are integrated into a coherent experience of virtual objects and spaces. Specically, we explored whether intermodal integration contributes to generating the ...
متن کاملMultimodal Feedback Cues To Aid Veterinary Training Simulations
This paper describes the concept of multimodal cues to aid training in a medical simulator. These cues aim to provide guidance and performance feedback to the user in the form of haptic, graphic and auditory feedback presented during the simulator training. The paper describes current implementations of the cues and their integration into the Horse Ovary Palpation Simulator (HOPS) developed at ...
