“…Spatialized audio has been used to increase sense of immersion in simulated virtual space ( Naef, Staadt, & Gross, 2002 ), while real-time audio has been used to enable sense of presence for virtual collaborations ( Monahan, McArdle, & Bertolotto, 2008 ). Technologies used for audio have ranged from headsets to bone-conduction speakers ( Walker & Lindsay, 2005 ). A series of technologies have also been built to probe and alter the dreaming mind using audio.…”

We explore the application of a wide range of sensory stimulation technologies to the area of sleep and dream engineering. We begin by emphasizing the causal role of the body in dream generation, and describe a circuitry between the sleeping body and the dreaming mind. We suggest that nearly any sensory stimuli has potential for modulating experience in sleep. Considering other areas that might afford tools for engineering sensory content in simulated worlds, we turn to Virtual Reality (VR). We outline a collection of relevant VR technologies, including devices engineered to stimulate haptic, temperature, vestibular, olfactory, and auditory sensations. We believe these technologies, which have been developed for high mobility and low cost, can be translated to the field of dream engineering. We close by discussing possible future directions in this field and the ethics of a world in which targeted dream direction and sleep manipulation are feasible.

“…Masking has unintentionally occurred when the auditory displays were not explicitly designed to avoid peripheral acoustic interference (see, e.g., Donmez, Cummings, & Graham, 2009). Research has offered fairly unanimous evidence that the detectability, discriminability, and identifiability of sounds all become more difficult as concurrent sounds become more numerous, particularly when the sounds are similar (Bonebright, Nees, Connerley, & McCain, 2001; Ericson, Brungart, & Simpson, 2003; Lacherez et al, 2007; McGookin & Brewster, 2004; Walker & Lindsay, 2006a).…”

Modern vehicle cockpits have begun to incorporate a number of information-rich technologies, including systems to enhance and improve driving and navigation performance and also driving-irrelevant information systems. The visually intensive nature of the driving task requires these systems to adopt primarily nonvisual means of information display, and the auditory modality represents an obvious alternative to vision for interacting with in-vehicle technologies (IVTs). Although the literature on auditory displays has grown tremendously in recent decades, to date, few guidelines or recommendations exist to aid in the design of effective auditory displays for IVTs. This chapter provides an overview of the current state of research and practice with auditory displays for IVTs. The role of basic auditory capabilities and limitations as they relate to in-vehicle auditory display design are discussed. Extant systems and prototypes are reviewed, and when possible, design recommendations are made. Finally, research needs and an iterative design process to meet those needs are discussed.

“…Research has shown that detectability, discriminability, and ability to identify sounds become more difficult as the number of concurrent sounds increases, especially if the sounds are similar (Bonebright, Nees, Connerley, & McCain, 2001;Walker & Lindsay, 2006). Another common concern associated with auditory displays is annoyance (Edworthy, 1998;Kramer, 1994).…”

The number of visual distraction-caused crashes highlights a need for non-visual information displays in vehicles. Auditory-supported air gesture controls could fill that need. This dissertation covers four experiments that aim to explore the design auditorysupported air gesture system and examine its real-world influence on driving performance. The first three experiments compared different prototype gesture control
