Contextual Audio in Haptic Graph Browsing
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a “think-aloud” study investigating the ability of visually impaired participants to make comparisons between haptic and audio line graphs. Graphs with two data series were presented. One data series was explored with a PHANTOM haptic device, whilst the other was sonified using one of two data sound mappings. The results show that participants can make comparisons between the two lines. However, there is some cross-modal interference which makes it difficult to extract detailed information about the data series presented in audio.

Non-Visual Feedback for Pen-Based Interaction with Digital Graphs
Access to simple visualisations such as bar charts, line graphs and pie charts is currently very limited for the visually impaired and blind community. Tangible representations such as heat-raised paper, and inserting pins in a cork-board are common methods of allowing visually impaired pupils to browse and construct visualisations at school, but these representations can become impractical for...
متن کاملVerbally Assisted Haptic Graph Comprehension: The Role of Taking Initiative in a Joint Activity
Statistical graphs are tools for multimodal communication in daily life settings. For visually impaired people, haptic interfaces provide perceptual access to the information provided by the graph. Haptic comprehension can be facilitated by audio and verbal assistance. We investigate the circumstances under which verbal assistance facilitates haptic comprehension of graphs. For this, we focus o...
متن کاملWeb-based Haptic Applications for Blind People to Create Virtual Graphs
Haptic technology has great potentials in many applications. This paper introduces our work on delivery haptic information via the Web. A multimodal tool has been developed to allow blind people to create virtual graphs independently. Multimodal interactions in the process of graph creation and exploration are provided by using a low-cost haptic device, the Logitech WingMan Force Feedback Mouse...

—We investigate the use of audio and haptic feedback to augment the display of a mobile device controlled by tilt input. We provide an example of this based on Doppler effects, which highlight the user's approach to a target, or a target's movement from the current state, in the same way we hear the pitch of a siren change as it passes us. Twelve participants practiced navigation/browsing a sta...
