auditory display
Auditory display refers to the use of sound to convey information or data to users. Instead of relying solely on visual elements like graphs or texts, auditory displays use sounds, tones, or spoken words to help people understand data, receive alerts, or monitor systems. This approach is useful in various contexts, such as for visually impaired individuals, in environments where visual attention is limited, or to enhance user experience by providing an additional sensory channel for information processing. Auditory displays can effectively improve awareness and comprehension in complex situations.

Auditory display refers to the use of sound to convey information and communicate messages effectively. This can include anything from alarms that alert us to danger, to computer-generated sounds that indicate system status, or data visualizations presented through audio. By using our sense of hearing, auditory displays enhance our understanding and interaction with information, making it accessible in ways that visual displays might not be. They are particularly useful in situations where visual attention is limited or where multitasking is necessary, allowing us to process information through sound while engaging in other tasks.
