Introduction to Audiovisual User Interfaces.
18 June 2014, 4pm - 5.30pm
Goldsmiths, Richard Hogarth Building, room 308
Abstract
Nuno Correia will present the research project "Enabling Audiovisual
User Interfaces” that he is conducting at EAVI (Embodied AudioVisual
Interaction group), Goldsmiths, University of London. It is a 2-year
project, supported by a Marie Curie EU fellowship. The main research
question is: how can interconnected sound and image be used to create
more usable, accessible, playful and engaging user interfaces? To
address this issue, a new UI paradigm is proposed – AVUI (AudioVisual
User Interface). AVUI links interaction, sound and image, building upon
the concept of Graphical User Interface (GUI) by adding interconnected
sound and image. The research hypothesis is: the introduction of AVUI,
integrating interrelated sonic and visual feedback, reacting to user
interactions, will lead to more usable, accessible, playful and engaging
UIs, as compared to a traditional GUI – particularly in use cases where
accessibility and/or engagement are determinant. During the talk, the
project will be contextualised with related research. The methodology
and expected outcomes will be presented. Opportunities for collaboration
with related projects will also be discussed.
