Our journal paper entitled “Audio-Haptic Interfaces for Digital Audio Workstations: A Participatory Design Approach” has been accepted for publication in the Journal on Multimodal User Interfaces

Abstract:

We examine how auditory displays, sonification and haptic interaction design can support visually impaired sound engineers, musicians and audio production specialists access to digital audio workstation. We describe a user-centred approach that incorporates various participatory design techniques to help make the design process accessible to this population of users. We also outline the audio-haptic designs that results from this process and reflect on the benefits and challenges that we encountered when applying these techniques in the context of designing support for audio editing.
