HYPOTHESIS

Because the display in interactive tabletops is visual, designers often focus on presenting information to user through the visual channel. Although visual feedback is the primary modality through which to communicate information in this environment, auditory feedback may also serve an important role. However, it is as yet unclear what that role is and how it might enhance user's experiences.

The designer of a co-located environment must consider that multiple users perceive auditory feedback and that this simultaneous perception might affect performance, understanding, and user experience. ( Hancock et al 2005)

This study is driven by two research questions.
H1: What effect does auditory cues have on children completing a task on an interactive surface?
H2: Does auditory cues serve as an important role in interactive tabletops?
