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.
