Narrowing our focus
How to select and classify suitable sounds for a particular interaction design ?
TaDa - select sounds to communicate the dimensions and directions with relation to their actions and to that of the system e.g. ears-lead-eyes design pattern
Sounds linked to physical objects as dynamic entities with manipulation / interaction
Multidimensional information carrier - size, shape, material, distance, speed, and emotional expression
Selection of Approaches
Evaluating Perceptual Qualities of Single Auditory Stimuli Identification Tasks, Context-Based Ratings, Attribute Ratings
Evaluating Relations Among Auditory Stimuli Discrimination Trials, Similarity Ratings, Sorting Tasks MDS, CA, PCA, Pathfinder Analysis
Evaluation of application Surveys, Verbal Protocols, Heuristics
Previous studies
Identification percents / Causal Uncertainty metric
Multidimensional scaling based on perceived perceptual property of sounds
Repertory Grid method
Findings from previous studies
Explore if mapping human activity to actions rather than to objects works for task/domain
Consider the possibility of concurrent auditory presentation
Metaphor from the listener’s own textual responses
Verify your mappings - Proximity ratings, paired comparisons, or similarity judgements
Visual depiction/s of the human perceptual space underlying the representation of a set of stimuli can help

Shannon Portal intriguing, new sounds
clearly heard - not masked by normal activities of the space
mapping was pleasing as well as attention catching
observations and interviews - contributed to the experience and was non-intrusive
Summary
Many open and unanswered questions...
