Sound Advice Search Tool
By completing the information below, you will restrict your searc"h to those references that match all of your criteria. Generally, the more items you complete, the fewer references the search will return. Similarly, if you do not complete any of the items, you will get all of the references in the database returned.
Restrict Your Search to the Following:
Restrict search to the type of auditory display you want to create? Something integrated into an interface (e.g. GUI, auditory icons) "Sonification" or something representing data using sound (e.g. Geiger counter) Alarms Other Restrict search to the type of task the auditory display will be used for? Real-time monitoring/Awareness Exploration Pattern recognition and matching Extracting detailed information Spatial (Navigation/Location) Alerting Active feedback on actions Other Restrict search to the type of situations that the task will be used in? Desktop - office, control room Cabin - cockpit, car, train Mobile - on the street, up a pole, underwater Other Restrict the search to auditory displays specifically useful for the visually impaired? Yes No N/A Restrict the search to any of the following additional information about the context of the task for the auditory display? There will be a high attentional load on the user User's eyes will be busy while listening to the auditory display Temporally Sensitive (temporal patterns or short events) The auditory display will used in parallel with another auditory display The auditory display will used in as a background display The auditory display will be supplementing a visual display a tactile display a vocal display a text display Other Restrict the search to how long will the auditory display be used for any particular sitting? Continuously For short episodes It could be any duration Other

If the Auditory Display is a Sonification, you can restrict the search to what needs to be sonified:
Restrict the search to the type of data that is being sonified? Discrete Continuous Boolean (2 different categories; e.g. yes or no) Nominal (difference without order; e.g. banana, apple, orange) Ordinal (difference and order; difference, order and a natural zero; difference order, central zero) Interval (difference, order and metric; e.g. Celsius temperature scale) Ratio (difference, order, metric and natural zero) Time Series Unknown None (No data are involved) Other Restrict the search to the kind of information is being sonified? Descriptive information on variables (mean, standard deviation, etc.) How many variables Relationships 2D 3D Multi-D Tree (hierarchical) Categories, objects, &/or individual items Other Restrict the search to the size of the data set being sonified? Small Medium Large Any Restrict the search to the part of the data set that needs to be sonified? Part of data set - specifically, if a data set has several variables and only one or two of those variables was sonified (i.e. of a data set on weather, when only the rain data needs to be sonified) Individual elements - if one element of a data set was sonified (i.e. in a time series data set, when a particular value is reached) Entire data set Not Applicable Restrict the search to if there is a corresponding visual graph for the data being sonified? No Pie graph Line graph Histogram Scatterplot Box plot Bar graph Time Series Diagram Other
