Abstract

With the emergence of the mobile Internet combined with wearable personal computing, we are now entering a new information era where PCs are self-adapting their resources to human bodies, minds and preferences, prevailing a more effective work environment. In this new world, working effectively is inextricably related to accessing reliable information sources when needed. Therefore, people eager to stay connected, consume daily information in a myriad of forms: news, weather, business, road/traffic reports, voicemails, emails, as well as information associated to their daily activities or interests. In this paper, we propose innovative UI information presentations based on three-dimensional (3D) audio modeling. In this framework, we illustrate how news, weather and business reports are extracted, spatialized and presented to end-users using 3D audio modality.
