Applied Audio Interaction

Dear Colleagues,

In a world dominated by visual modality, sound is often neglected. However, research strongly supports the affordances of utilizing the acoustic channel as the basic means to perceive, interpret, organise, and communicate information. Therefore, audio interaction is increasingly applied in many fields, such as entertainment, navigation, smart device, accessibility and healthcare.

This Special Issue aims to report on the recent results and developments of audio interactive applications, and thus provide valid paradigms and a thorough framework for the meaningful implementation of sound in a wide range of scopes, ranging from artistic expression to instructional design, from guided navigation to playful exploration, from environmental awareness to enhanced immersion.

By encompassing the complete spectrum of digital, mobile, augmented, mixed, and virtual reality technologies, we aim to highlight the versatility and complexity of the interaction modes facilitated by audio technology and provide insight into this rapidly growing field’s future directions of research and development.
