Quotations
abstract ;;Quote: added an ecology of auditory icons to a complex simulation; useful information, helped perceptual integration, assist collaboration
85 ;;Quote: auditory icons useful when users do not notice all visual feedback; auditory cues don't require attention
86 ;;Quote: the ARKola factory consists of nine machines for making bottled cola from raw ingredients; simple to understand but difficult to do, also fun
87 ;;Quote: the ARKola factory uses 14 distinct sounds; may be repeated about once a second
87 ;;Quote: pairs of subjects ran the ARKola factory with two-way audio/video and with or without sound
89 ;;Quote: indicating the end of a process by a cessation of sound doesn't work well
89 ;;Quote: auditory icons in a collaborative simulation increased the level of collaboration; e.g., noticing and solving problems
89 ;;Quote: sounds helped collaborators monitor their processes while assisting their partner; also helped monitor remote processes
89+;;Quote: sounds allowed collaborators to refer to events they couldn't see
89 ;;Quote: users quickly learned the meaning and functions of a complex system of sounds; few users forgot their meanings
