Sound science: Marking ten international conferences on auditory display

ABSTRACT

This special issue of ACM Transactions on Applied Perception is intended to commemorate the tenth International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD) and to serve as an introduction and overview of the field of auditory displays. This paper discusses the goals of the issue and describes the paper selection process. The selected papers are also introduced, with their connections to each other, their place in ICAD, and their relevance to other fields briefly highlighted.
