A systematic review of reverberation and accessibility for B/blind users in virtual environments (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Child, L., Mitchell, T., & Ford, N. (2023, August). A systematic review of reverberation and accessibility for B/blind users in virtual environments. Presented at AES 2023 International Conference on Spatial and Immersive Audio, Huddersfield, United Kingdom

Reverberation is often used in linear and non-linear media to convey the acoustic characteristics of a space. This information is presented alongside visual stimuli to create a multi-modal experience, assisting participants in developing visual and a...

Hear here: Sonification as a design strategy for robot teleoperation using virtual reality (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Simmons, J., Bown, A., Bremner, P., McIntosh, V., & Mitchell, T. J. (2023, March). Hear here: Sonification as a design strategy for robot teleoperation using virtual reality. Presented at VAM-HRI Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed-Reality for Human-Robot Interactions at HRI, Stockholm

This paper introduces a novel methodology for the sonification of data, and shares the results of a usability study, putting the method- ology into practice within an industrial use case. Working with partners at Sellafield nuclear facility, we explo... Read More about Hear here: Sonification as a design strategy for robot teleoperation using virtual reality.

Participatory conceptual design of accessible digital musical instruments using generative AI (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Aynsley, H., Mitchell, T. J., & Meckin, D. (2023, May). Participatory conceptual design of accessible digital musical instruments using generative AI. Presented at NIME 2023, Mexico City, Mexico

This paper explores the potential of AI text-to-image diffusion models (e.g. DALLE-2 and Midjourney) to support the early phase design of new digital musical instruments in collaboration with Disabled musicians. The paper presents initial findings fr... Read More about Participatory conceptual design of accessible digital musical instruments using generative AI.
