    A Camera-Based Mobility Aid for Visually Impaired People
    (KI - Künstliche Intelligenz: Vol. 30, No. 1, 2016) Schwarze, Tobias; Lauer, Martin; Schwaab, Manuel; Romanovas, Michailas; Böhm, Sandra; Jürgensohn, Thomas
    We present a wearable assistance system for visually impaired persons that perceives the environment with a stereo camera system and communicates obstacles and other objects to the user in form of intuitive acoustic feedback. The system is designed to complement traditional assistance aids. We describe the core techniques of scene understanding, head tracking, and sonification and show in an experimental study that it enables users to walk in unknown urban terrain and to avoid obstacles safely.

    The Earconizer - A Tool for constructing hierarchical Earcons
    (Mensch und Computer 2019 - Workshopband, 2019) Engeln, Lars; Hanke, Maximilian; Auerswald, Toni; Kallenbach, Felix; Groh, Rainer
    Earcons have become an important part of the human-computer interaction. In addition to the visual presentation of a user interface, the use of the auditory channel enriches software-side entities with information. Additionally, earcons can significantly improve interaction and effectively communicate complex information. Often Earcons are created with the expertise of a sound designer. How can the creation be simplified so that earcons can be created and organized by ordinary users? This paper shows of a tool for creating earcons based on the hierarchical structure of compound earcons to positively enhance the user experience in an interactive environment.

    Ein Gestaltungsansatz für intuitiv verständliches Audiofeedback
    (Tagungsband UP07, 2007) Peissner, Matthias; Melcher, Vivien
    In diesem Beitrag wird untersucht, in wieweit paraverbale menschliche Stimmäußerungen geeignet sind, um als Vorbild für die Gestaltung intuitiv verständlicher Feedbacktöne zu dienen. In einer mehrstufigen Studie werden entsprechende Stimmaufnahmen erfasst und bezüglich ihrer effektiven Anwendbarkeit für grundlegende Interaktionssituationen bewertet.

    Sonify - A Platform for the Sonification of Text Messages
    (Mensch & Computer 2013: Interaktive Vielfalt, 2013) Alt, Florian; Pfleging, Bastian; Schmidt, Albrecht
    Sonification of text messages offers a great potential for personalization while at the same time allowing rich information to be mediated. For example, ringtones are the major form of personalization on smartphones besides apps and background images. Ringtones are often used as a form of self-expression by the smartphone owner (e.g., using ones favorite sound track as standard ringtone), but also to identify the caller or sender of a message (e.g., the user knows who is calling without taking the phone out of the pocket). We believe this approach to be applicable to a wide variety of text messages, such as SMS, email, or IM. In this paper, we first present a web-based platform that allows user-generated mappings for text sonification to be created and managed. An API that enables any application to send a text message and receive the sonification in the form of a MIDI file. To showcase the potential, we implemented an Android app that sonifies incoming SMS. Second, we evaluate the feasibility of our approach to sonify messages and show that sonified messages are equally effective as ringtones when conveying meta information.
