Having originally studied for a degree in visual communication in DIT Mountjoy Square, I worked for a number of years as a graphic designer in the publishing industry. After returning to college to study for a Masters in Digital Media Technology I was given the opportunity to study for a PhD in the field of auditory cognition and auditory interface design in the Digital Media Centre in DIT Aungier Street.

As part of the LOK8 project's aim to develop location-based services, the Vocate module will be seeking to exploit these advantages to augment the overall usability of the LOK8 interface and also to deliver scalable content in scenarios where the user may be in transit or requires focus-independence. This paper discusses these advantages and outlines three possible approaches that the Vocate module may take within the LOK8 project: speech interfaces, auditory user interfaces, and sonification.

The LOK8 project seeks to develop location-based services within intelligent social environments, such as museums, art galleries, office buildings, and so on. It seeks to do this using a wide range of media and devices employing multiple modalities. The Vocate module is responsible for the auditory aspect of the LOK8 environment and will seek to exploit the natural strengths afforded by the auditory modality to make the LOK8 system user-friendly in multiple scenarios, including instances where the user needs to be hands-free or eyes-free, or when screen size on a mobile device might be an issue. We look at what kinds of services the Vocate module will be seeking to implement within the LOK8 environment and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of three possible approaches - sonification, auditory user interfaces, and speech interfaces.
