“…In particular, we assume that voice in contrast to text will lead to more pleasant responses. For example, Qiu and Benbasat (2005) examined the effect of text-tospeech voice in e-commerce systems and found that text-tospeech fosters consumers' feelings of flow, that is, a pleasant and playful feeling concerning one's interaction with the system (see also Frauenberger and Stockman, 2009;Maffiolo and Chateau, 2003;Kallinen and Ravaja, 2005).…”

a b s t r a c tAffective responses of users to system messages in human-computer interaction are a key to study user satisfaction. However, little is known about the particular affective patterns elicited by various types of system messages. In this experimental study we examined if and how different system messages, presented in different modalities, influence users' affective responses. Three types of messages, input requests, status notifications, and error messages, were presented either as text or speech, and either alone or in combination with icons or sounds, while users worked on several typical computer tasks. Affective responses following system messages were assessed employing a multi-modal approach, using subjective rating scales as well as physiological measures. Results show that affective responses vary systematically depending on the type of message, and that spoken messages generally elicit more positive affect than written messages. Implications on how to enhance user satisfaction by appropriate message design are discussed.

“…Sound interaction design (SID) is a relatively newly established research field that still lacks the mature, wellproven, well-researched design methods and practices typical of visual design [9]. Gaver [10] states that the sound is a powerful medium for conveying information: it complements vision and provides information about objects and events.…”

We have developed a new version of a pervasive system for monitoring and recording subjective pain experiences. The most important service the system offers to its users is real-time delivery of reported pain values from patients to nurses. Pain experiences are expressed on a six-value scale from "no pain" to "worst possible pain". The system was tested in four sessions with 23 test users from Finland and Sweden. The main goal of this study was to evaluate user experience of the patient application and the sounds we designed for the user interface. We tested four sound options; spoken, synthetic, xylophone and mute. The material was collected through group discussions and questionnaires. Familiarity, the extent to which a sound can be identified, and the quality and the pleasantness of the sound were found to have an effect on forming a positive experience. Sounds describing pain levels have to be convincing. The context of use has to be taken into account as a primary design driver in a sound design process.

“…In particular, the notion of reduced listening justifies a recasting of the conceptual organisation of sonifications according to descriptive or normative display purposes reaching beyond the connotative and denotative poles proposed by Kramer. The renewed interest in listening modes is also due to a recent contribution to this field by Vickers (2012), who discusses how this field of study can contribute to sonification and auditory display, and particularly the contribution by Tuuri and Eerola (2012), who bring forth convincing arguments to rethink listening and auditory display from an embodied cognition perspective. In light of the recently increased interest in listening modes by the auditory display community, we provide in this article an approach which complements existing design guidelines by Barrass (1997), deCampo (2007 and Frauenberger (2009) and, for product sounds by Jekosch (2005) and Hug (2009). An awareness of the variety of listening modes can help to enunciate how sound might refer to other modes of perception and action and how they influence the connection between data and sound.…”

Interactive Sonification for Data Exploration: How listening modes and display purposes define design guidelines

The desire to make data accessible through the sense of listening has led to ongoing research in the fields of sonification and auditory display since the early 1990s. Coming from the disciplines of computer sciences and human computer interface (HCI), the conceptualisation of sonification has been mostly driven by application areas and methods. On the other hand, the sonic arts, which have always participated in the auditory display community, have a genuine focus on sound. Despite these close interdisciplinary relationships between communities of sound practitioners, a rich and sound- or listening-centred concept of sonification is still missing for design guidelines. Complementary to the useful organisation by fields of application, a proper conceptual framework for sound needs to be abstracted from applications and also to some degree from tasks, as both are not directly related to sound. As an initial approach to recasting the thinking about sonification, we propose a conceptualisation of sonifications along two poles in which sound serves either anormativeor adescriptivepurpose. According to these two poles, design guidelines can be developed proper to display purposes and listening modes.
