1	Auditory displays : A study in effectiveness between binaural and stereo audio to support interface navigation Bergqvist, Emil January 2014 (has links) This thesis analyses if the change of auditory feedback can improve the effectiveness of performance in the interaction with a non-visual system, or with a system used by individuals with visual impairment. Two prototypes were developed, one with binaural audio and the other with stereo audio. The interaction was evaluated in an experiment where 22 participants, divided into two groups, performed a number of interaction tasks. A post-interview were conducted together with the experiment. The result of the experiment displayed that there were no great difference between binaural audio and stereo regarding the speed and accuracy of the interaction. The post-interviews displayed interesting differences in the way participants visualized the virtual environment that affected the interaction. This opened up interesting questions for future studies. binaural audio inclusive game design spatial auditory perception auditory displays spatial cognition sound design Interaction Technologies Interaktionsteknik Computer Systems Datorsystem Human Computer Interaction Software Engineering Programvaruteknik Information Systems
