There is a tendency for software designers to create visually dominated computer interfaces. The concept of the graphical user interface (GUI) is so deeply ingrained into our work and home environments that it is often perceived as being the logical basis for interaction in many applications. In certain circumstances it might be more productive to alleviate this visual dominance by an increased use of the haptic and auditory channels. An experimental application for the non-visual delivery of music notation to blind people is described. It is anticipated that the overall results of the study will contribute towards a set of design principles for the implementation of less visually dependant interfaces.
