The study of the menu selection system using audio media

Abstract

A problem in case of implementing interface using only audio media is the way of its presentation scheme such as standing position and contents recognition of the object which is a representative of information. Our proposed the interface TAS(Total Audio interface System) has the input function using voice and the presentation function using three dimensional audio. Hence this interface enables the object selection only with audio media. In this paper we propose a scheme to present several objects expressed by audio media using the menu. This system gives the user easy recollection the contents of the object by the method of presenting other sound which was heard at the place where the sound was memorized. The interface TAS which applies this function is evaluated in an example selection of the sound which was often heard in every day life. As a result, even if several objects were located in hierarchical structure, it is known that this selection system is easy to use.
