Abstract

This paper presents a user study on interaction with a mobile device. We investigate the use of non-speech sound in mobile interfaces and design a sonically-enhanced interface. The sonically-enhanced interface is compared to a visual interface when users are walking. The results show that the sonically-enhanced interface can improve the mobile interaction as compared to the visual interface.
