Title

Revolutionizing Human-Computer Interfaces-The Auditory Perspective

Abstract

Researchers have been engaged in extensive studies for over a period of time to demonstrate the use of nonspeech sound to represent information in human-computer interfaces (HCI). Researchers can examine larger amounts of data using combined senses in these auditory HCIs, soldiers can receive crucial data in combat without pausing to look at a display, and the visually impaired can interact with data for the first time. Sonification can also allow users to think about data in entirely new ways, extracting previously hidden meanings by examining data in a different cognitive context. It is essential to understand how to design sonifications based on how users comprehend them before realizing the benefits of sonification. Researchers have focused on extending the benefits of visual displays into the auditory realm, ranging from the roots of the comprehension process to the accuracy of various forms of comprehension.
