| Abstract | An automotive multimedia system that would be sonified should offer to the driver the possibility to interact with this system without his eyes, having thus a better visual focus on the road. The sonification should indeed facilitate the discovery of the system and the navigation within the menu tree. We have prepared a prototype to test with users the efficiency and acceptability of the sonification, made by hierarchical sounds, vocal synthesis, spearcons (compressed vocal synthesis), musical samples and feeback sounds. Our results confirm that sonification is interesting. Even if it doesn't allow to navigate and to reach the data faster, the participants want to keep it as they find their driving safer. Vocal synthesis and hierarchical sounds used on the first menu levels are the most helpful sounds with the alphabetical letters used in the long list of data. Hybrid sounds, composed of earcons and auditory icons, are prefered to orchestra sounds (musems) because the link to the fonction is more intuitive. Spearcons are not appreciated because they are not understood and do not help the positioning in the lists of data. Feedback sounds are appreciated all along the navigation, in particular the sound of scrolling and the sound « end of the list / empty list ». |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
