Presentation / Conference Contribution
McGregor, I., LePlâtre, G., Crerar, A., & Benyon, D. (2006). Sound and soundscape classification: Establishing key auditory dimensions and their relative importance.

This paper investigates soundscape classification by using two different forms of data gathering and two different populations. The first method involves a questionnaire completed by 75 audio professionals. The second uses a speak-aloud experiment, d...

Integrated Decision Points for Interactive Movies (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tully, G., & Turner, S. (2006, June). Integrated Decision Points for Interactive Movies. Presented at Second International Conference, TIDSE 2004, Darmstadt, Germany

We describe a study which explores alternative means of communicating decision points in an interactive movie. The two variants used novel, non-disruptive cues embedded in the movie itself: a fade to black and white and a zoom effect accompanied by s...

Telling people about virtual places: A qualitative perspective (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, P., & McGregor, I. (2004). Telling people about virtual places: A qualitative perspective.

This paper presents an investigation into how sound can be used to create a sense of place (that is, the sense of being in that particular place). In the study, people were asked to speak aloud and tell us what they could hear. The analysis of these... Read More about Telling people about virtual places: A qualitative perspective.
