Abstract
Interactions with physical objects usually evoke sounds, i.e., auditory
feedback that depends on the interacting objects (e.g., table,
hand, or pencil) and interaction type (e.g., tapping or scratching).
The continuous real-time adaptation of sound during interaction
enables the manipulation/refinement of perceived characteristics
(size, material) of physical objects. Furthermore, when controlled
by unrelated external data, the resulting ambient sonifications can
keep users aware of changing data. This article introduces the concept
of plausibility to the topic of auditory augmentations of physical
interactions, aiming at providing an experimentation platform
for investigating surface-based physical interactions, understanding
relevant acoustic cues, redefining these via auditory augmentation
/ blended sonification and particularly to empirically measure
the plausibility limits of such auditory augmentations. Besides
conceptual contributions along the trade-off between plausibility
and usability, a practical experimentation system is introduced, together
with a very first qualitative pilot study.
