auditory displays

Auditory displays are systems that communicate information through sound rather than visuals or text. They use sounds, tones, or spoken messages to alert users, convey data, or support decision-making. These displays are useful when visual attention is limited, such as in noisy environments or during physical activities, helping users quickly interpret important information through hearing. Examples include medical alarms, GPS navigation prompts, or auditory alerts in software applications. They enhance awareness and provide an alternative means of understanding data, making interactions more efficient and safer in various contexts.
