Exploration of sonification design process through an interdisciplinary workshop

Towards Ecological, Embodied and User-Centric Design in Auditory Display

“…In the two examples discussed above, we see clear evidence of UCD approaches developing in AD. Further examples can be found that trace the convergence of HCI and design methodologies with AD in the work of Goudarzi [7]. In this paper the author makes use of the participatory design workshop method for developing UCD oriented sonifications.…”

“…The authors describe the challenge of placing users and designers in direct contact with each other to produce participatory design. However, their results suggest that the workshop model provided an adequate mediation for producing a greater appreciation for each other's perspectives and engendering the desired userdesigner relationship [7].…”

“…This has arguably produced stagnation in the development of innovative ideas and arguments in the field [4], as researchers struggle to reconcile the different perspectives that arise from different schools of thought. Furthermore, due to the interdisciplinary nature of auditory display the prospect of developing an all-encompassing set of guidelines that are applicable to all possible contexts of auditory display applications is unrealistic [7].…”
