*Title: *Non-Visual Navigation Using Combined Audio Music and Haptic Cues

*Abstract:*

While a great deal of work has been done exploring non- visual navigation
interfaces using audio and haptic cues, little work has been done combining
the two modalities. We investigate combining different state-of-the-art
interfaces for communicating direction and distance information using
vibrotactile and audio music cues, limiting ourselves to interfaces that
are possible with current off-the-shelf smart- phones. We use experimental
logs, subjective task load questionnaires, and user comments to see how
users’ perceived performance, objective performance, and acceptance of the
system varied for different combinations. Users’ perceived performance did
not differ much between the unimodal and multimodal interfaces, but a few
users commented that the multimodal interfaces added some cognitive load.
Objective performance showed that some multimodal combinations resulted in
significantly less direction or distance error over some of the unimodal
ones, especially the purely haptic interface. Based on these findings we
propose a few design considerations for multimodal haptic/audio navigation
interfaces.

Everyone welcome!
