An Empirical Study of User Perception of Audio Stimuli in Relation to a Cartesian Space

Published: 29 June 2021 Publication History

Abstract

The field of Sonification has led to a variety of projects aimed at conveying graphical information via audition. Most of these projects are aimed at specific domains or contexts, and few have studied general audio presentation techniques empirically. This paper details the results of a multipart study of user perception of selected audio stimuli as users are asked to interpret those stimuli as points in a generic Cartesian space. Results will be used in future work designing methods of portraying technical drawings such as flowcharts and UML via audio.
