The multi-touch SoundScape renderer

Published: 28 May 2008 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a direct manipulation tabletop multi-touch user interface for spatial audio scenes. Although spatial audio rendering exists for several decades now, mass market applications have not been developed and the user interfaces still address a small group of expert users. We implemented an easy-to-use direct manipulation interface for multiple users, taking full advantage of the object-based audio rendering mode. Two versions of the user interface have been developed to explore variations in information architecture and will be evaluated in user tests.
