Institute of Sound Recording (IOSR)
in collaboration with Digital World Research Centre (DWRC)
Faculty of Arts and Human Sciences
University of Surrey, Guildford, UK
Role of sound in user experience of audio-visual consumer entertainment
systems
This project will examine the role of sound in the user experience of
different types of audio-visual content across a range of digital home
entertainment devices. This includes the development of appropriate user
experience concepts and measurement methods. The project will be jointly
supervised by Professor Francis Rumsey and Dr Slawomir Zielinski (IOSR),
and by Professor David Frohlich (DWRC).
The Institute of Sound Recording has an international reputation for
research in sound quality evaluation and modelling. Further details of
facilities and current projects in the group can be found at:
http://www.surrey.ac.uk/soundrec/php/iosr.php
The DWRC is a leading multidisciplinary research centre with an
international reputation for the study of user-centred innovation in
digital technology for the consumer market. Further details of its
activities can be found at:
http://www.dwrc.surrey.ac.uk/
The project would suit a psychologist or HCI specialist with an interest
in the design and evaluation of multimedia user experiences, especially
as
they relate to the interplay between sound and image. A good Bachelor's
degree, or preferably a Master's degree in a relevant discipline is
normally required.
A stipend will be paid at the current EPSRC rate of GBP 12940 in 2008-9,
plus fees at the 'home/EU' rate.
