Informing Science InSITE- “Where Parallels Intersect ” June 2003 Using Sounds to Present

Informing Science InSITE - “Where Parallels Intersect” June 2003 Paper Accepted as a Short Paper Using Sounds to Present and Manage Information in Computers Kari Kallinen Center for Knowledge and Innovation Research, Helsinki School of Economics, Finland Kallinen@hkkk.fi Abstract The auditive modality, such as speech, signals and natural sounds, is one of the most important ways to present and communicate information. However, in computer interfaces the possibilities of auditive mo- dality have been almost totally neglected. Usually the audio consists of simple signals (beeps and clicks) or background music. The present paper outlines some of the possibilities in presenting and managing information in computers by using audio from the perspective of the semiotic theory of signs. Auditive interfaces can be especially useful for people with visual or kinaesthetic disabilities, as well as in places and with devices when the visual-kinaesthetic using of the machine is difficult, for example while on the move or with small display devices. Keywords: Sound, Semiotics, Auditory interface, Sonification Introduction Our daily life is thoroughly embedded with sounds. Image that you walk on the street - numerous differ- ent kind of sounds come to your ears from various sources around you such as traffic noise, blowing wind, rain, the sound of footsteps, and talking people. Suddenly the sound of a siren grabs your attention and brings an image of a fire in to your mind. We deal with a tremendous amount of auditive information in our daily lives. However, the sounds sur- rounding us are not diffuse or meaningless. We can perceive and differentiate many different sounds si- multaneously, analyse them, categorise them, and understand their meaning and relation to each other. A huge potential lies in the human auditive system that has not been fully utilised in human-computer interaction. Given that there are 1.5 million blind and 11 million people
