“…Indeed, Wickens' [2002] description of multiple resources makes theoretical predictions that suggest less dual task interference when information can be spread across modalities rather than processed within a single modality (e.g., by vision alone). Studies have confirmed that auditory displays can be beneficial in scenarios where the display is small [Brewster 2002;Brewster and Murray 2000] or when the display is such that vision may be overtaxed [Brewster 1997;M. L. Brown et al 1989].…”

Auditory graphs-displays that represent quantitative information with sound-have the potential to make data (and therefore science) more accessible for diverse user populations. No research to date, however, has systematically addressed the attributes of data that contribute to the complexity (the ease or difficulty of comprehension) of auditory graphs. A pair of studies examined the role of data density (i.e., the number of discrete data points presented per second) and the number of trend reversals for both point-estimation and trend-identification tasks with auditory graphs. For the point-estimation task, more trend reversals led to performance decrements. For the trend-identification task, a large main effect was again observed for trend reversals, but an interaction suggested that the effect of the number of trend reversals was different across lower data densities (i.e., as density increased from 1 to 2 data points per second). Results are discussed in terms of data sonification applications and rhythmic theories of auditory pattern perception. ACM Reference Format:Nees, M. A. and Walker, B. N. 2008.

“…Surveys have shown good support for enhanced visualization and communication, circumscribed thinking -when the designer's ideas are circumscribed by the CAD tool's abilities -and for premature design fixation (premature commitment to a given design solution) [5]. Other studies went one step further and investigated how to reduce the visual cluttering through the use of auditory cues [6], an interesting approach that is currently outside of our scope, but that could be considered in the future.…”

The usage of multimodal user interfaces has revolutionized many different activities. However, most of the interactive technologies deployed in real world engineering contexts are still difficult to use, especially when engineering teams need to collaboratively visualize and review large-scale 3D CAD (Computer-Aided Design) models. This is the case of the oil platform industry, which necessarily involves the review and manipulation of large CAD models. In this paper we present a novel solution, based on multitouch and accelerometer input, which was designed and evaluated in close cooperation with researchers and engineers of a large oil industry company. We evaluated two different conditions: using multitouch-only input and using multitouch coupled with accelerometer-based input. Statistical analysis of quantitative data suggests that the second condition is faster and less error-prone than simply using multitouch-only input. Additionally, qualitative data showed that users perceive the multitouch-only interface as being more accurate, but more difficult to understand and use.

“…Spatial audio is perceptible even when the source is off-screen [44], and research has shown its effectiveness in aiding visual search [19] and video conferencing [7]. 3D spatial rendering is implemented in the server by transforming the user's single channel microphone audio stream using an off-the-shelf higher-order ambisonics audio library [100].…”

Designing In-Headset Authoring Tools for Virtual Reality Video

Virtual Reality (VR) video is emerging as a new art form. Viewing VR video requires wearing the VR headset to fully experience the immersive surrounding of the content.However, the novel viewing experience of VR video creates new challenges and requirements for conventional video authoring tools, which were designed mainly for working with normal video on a desktop display. Designing effective authoring tools for VR video requires intuitive video interfaces specific to VR. This dissertation develops new workflows and systems that enable filmmakers to create and improve VR video while fully immersed in a VR headset. We introduce a series of authoring tools that enables filmmakers to work with video in VR: 1) Vremiere, an in-headset video editing application that enables editors to edit VR video entirely in the headset, 2) CollaVR, a networked system that enables multiple users to collaborate and review video together in VR, and 3) a set of techniques to assist filmmakers in managing and accessing interfaces in stereoscopic VR video without suffering depth conflicts. The design of these applications is grounded in existing practices and principles learned in interviews with VR professionals. A series of studies is conducted to evaluate these systems, which demonstrate the potential of in-headset video authoring.ii Dedication To Dad, Mom, and Phuong iii
