• 2 MSc students working on Java auralisations
• Preparing EPSRC bid to look at auditory/visual external representations in program comprehension

EARCADE
• External Auditory Representations in Program Comprehension and Debugging– To compare auralisations with visualisations– Program flow, data flow, data structure– Anticipate multimodal representations to be very
powerful

Accessibility & AD for the elderly
• Publications:– Sainz-Salces, F. J., England, D. & Vickers, P. (2002). Multimodal Human-Computer
Interface, in Proc Vol 2 HCI 2002: 16th British HCI Group Annual Conference, London, UK, 2-6 September.

• Reworking EPSRC bid to develop an equal opportunities interface
• ACM Conference on Universal Usability 2003– Program Committee– Submitted a paper: “Designing for the elderly and visually
impaired” (Sainz Salces, F.J., England, D., & Vickers, P.)
• Submitted short paper to HCI 2003 “Household Appliance Control: Designing for the Elderly”

Domotics for the Elderly (PhD project)
• Designing interfaces that can support independent living for elderly and disabled people
• Prototype home appliance monitoring and control system
• Multimodal interface incorporating icons and earcons– Much more efficient than visual interface alone– Memorability of tunes an issue

Auditory Texture Evaluation
• Support of online purchasing of apples• Sal Fiore and I are setting up experiment to
see if the addition of the sounds of biting apples to an e-commerce site:– Increases users’ ability to generate accurate
expectations of apple characteristics– And/or increases users’ confidence in their choice
of apples for online purchasing
