Music and Speech in Auditory Interfaces: When is One Mode More Appropriate Than the Other?
Jane Alty, Dimitrios I. Rigas, Paul Vickers · Northumbria Research Link (Northumbria University) · 2005
A number of experiments, which have been carried out using non-speech auditory interfaces, are reviewed and the advantages and disadvantages of each are discussed. The possible advantages of using non-speech audio media such as music are discussed – richness of the representations possible, the aesthetic appeal, and the possibilities of such interfaces being able to handle abstraction and consistency across the interface.
