Experimentally Derived Guidelines for the Creation of Earcons
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is a lack of guidelines for designers to use when creating sounds for their interfaces. This paper proposes a set of general guidelines for the creation of earcons based upon six experiments we have performed. Using them a designer will be able to create effective earcons.

متن کاملEmpirically Derived Guidelines for the Presentation of Concurrent Earcons
This paper presents a set of empirically derived guidelines for the presentation of concurrent earcons (short structured audio messages which can be used to effectively communicate information to users [3]). When earcons are presented in such a way, they interfere with each other, making it difficult to determine the information encoded within them. The guidelines presented in this paper cover ...
متن کاملSpace, the Final Frontearcon: The Identification of Concurrently Presented Earcons in a Synthetic Spatialised Auditory Environment
Two experiments which investigate the impact of spatialised presentation on the identification of concurrently presented earcons are described. The first experiment compared the identification of concurrently presented earcons based on the guidelines for individual earcon design and presentation of Brewster, Wright and Edwards [1] which were presented in spatially distinct locations, to the ide...
متن کاملParallel earcons: reducing the length of audio messages
This paper describes a method of presenting structured audio messages, earcons, in parallel so that they take less time to play and can better keep pace with interactions in a human-computer interface. The two component parts of a compound earcon are played in parallel so that the time taken is only that of a single part. An experiment was conducted to test the recall and recognition of paralle...
متن کاملUnderstanding and improving the identification of concurrently presented earcons
The use of sound to communicate information as part of a user interface has been an active research area for several years. Research has shown that sound can be concurrently presented to users to increase the bandwidth and rate of data presentation. However, when sounds are concurrently presented, they may interfere with each other, such that determining the data encoded in the sound becomes di...
