Menu sonification in a mobile phone – A prototype study. (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Helle, S., LePlâtre, G., Marila, J., & Laine, P. (2001). Menu sonification in a mobile phone – A prototype study.

We have studied the effect and acceptance of a sonified menu structure in a mobile phone. In this experiment, mobile phones with a special software were given to test users for a period of three weeks. Sonification design was done using earcons, and...

Designing non-speech sounds to support navigation in mobile phone menus. (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
LePlâtre, G., & Brewster, S. A. (2000). Designing non-speech sounds to support navigation in mobile phone menus.

This paper describes a framework for integrating non-speech audio to hierarchical menu structures where the visual feedback is limited. In the first part of this paper, emphasis is put on how to extract sound design principles from actual navigation...

Perspectives on the design of musical auditory interfaces. (1999)
Journal Article
LePlâtre, G., & Brewster, S. A. (1999). Perspectives on the design of musical auditory interfaces. CASYS, 4, 227-239

This paper addresses the issue of music as a communication medium in auditory humancomputer interfaces. So far, psychoacoustics has had a great influence on the development of auditory interfaces, directly and through music cognition. We suggest t...

An investigation of using music to provide navigation cues. (1998)
Journal Article
LePlâtre, G., & Brewster, S. A. (1998). An investigation of using music to provide navigation cues. Proceedings of the 1998 international conference on Auditory Display(ICAD '98), 19

This paper describes an experiment that investigates new principles for representing hierarchical menus such as telephone-based interface menus, with non-speech audio. A hierarchy of 25 nodes with a sound for each node was used. The sounds were des... Read More about An investigation of using music to provide navigation cues..
