Improving Interfaces for Navigating Continuous Audio Timelines
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent advances technology have dramatically increased production and consumption of digital media such as audio. The intrinsically time-based nature of audio, however, presents unique problems, in particular with navigation. Unfortunately, audio navigation interfaces do not differ widely from the decades-old tape recorder metaphors. In this paper, we discuss our current work in exploring audio navigation interfaces for non-professional audio producers and consumers based on user studies that we have conducted and systems that we have developed for audio timeline navigation.

Scrolling Through Time: Improving Interfaces for Searching and Navigating Continuous Audio Timelines
Existing work has produced a variety of techniques to improve interfaces for navigating an audio timeline. These interfaces typically map user input to either a change in play rate, or playback position. Audio feedback while scrolling at arbitrary rates can be provided by: skipping immediately to the new position in the audio; resampling the audio, which introduces pitch-shifts; timestretching ...
