Auditory displays typically evolve over time since sound is inherently a temporal phenomenon. Interaction thus becomes an integral part of the process in order to select, manipulate, excite or control the display, and this has implications for the interface between humans and computers. In recent years it has become clear that there is an important need for research to address the interaction with auditory displays more explicitly. Interactive Sonification is the new upcoming research topic concerned with the use of sound to portray data, but where there is a human being at the heart of an interactive control loop. Specifically it deals with:
We are trying to apply a spotlight on particular situations where there is realtime interaction with sonification systems. The usual community for exploring all aspects of auditory display is ICAD . We would like to see the topic of this workshop becoming integrated into the range of topics covered by ICAD.
