Small animated displays such as tickers and faders are increasingly being used to convey information on computer screens. Relatively little is understood, however, about their use as peripheral displays, that is, tools for communicating lower-priority awareness information to people. This article describes two experiments that examine the tradeoff of communication capability versus distraction ...
متن کاملEvaluating non-speech sound visualizations for the deaf
Sounds such as co-workers chatting nearby or a dripping faucet help us maintain awareness of and respond to our surroundings. Without a tool that communicates ambient sounds in a nonauditory manner, maintaining this awareness is difficult for people who are deaf. We present an iterative investigation of peripheral, visual displays of ambient sounds. Our major contributions are: (1) a rich under...
متن کاملA Toolkit for Evaluating Peripheral Awareness Displays
Peripheral displays are an important application for enabling people to be constantly aware of information while doing other activities. How does one evaluate a peripheral awareness display to determine if it provides awareness without distracting the user inappropriately from other tasks? We explore evaluation metrics for peripheral displays and describe proposed support to be added to an exis...

متن کاملA Whisper in the Woods — an Ambient Soundscape for Peripheral Awareness of Remote Processes
The concept of a weakly intrusive ambient soundscape (WISP) is presented as a means to provide a peripheral awareness of processes beyond a user’s immediate attention. The WISP is a component in a larger environment for ubiquitous computing, centered around a conference room scenario. The experiences from a demonstration prototype indicate that the choice of sounds and the intensity of their pr...
