Humans Are MultiModal Creatures With MultiModal Minds
Here Within I Propose The Development and Implementation of Technology That Would Allow Authors/Readers to Highlight Text With Varying Degrees of Sound.
SOUND
Wikipedia:Sound is vibration transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas; particularly, sound means those vibrations composed of frequencies capable of being detected by ears.
Using Other/Related Audio/Auditory Technologies Readers Would be Able To Hear That Range of Tones Layered Over The Text Within A Corpus And/Or Substitute And/Or Supplement An Author's Audio/Auditory Layer
Such Tones Could Be Used to Denote Another Dimension Of The Text OR Denote Relative Importance.
THINK That This Is FarFetched? Not Really. Nearly A Decade Ago I Began to Explore Auditory Browsing Interaction in Web and non-Web Databases:
