Seeing More: Visualizing Audio Cues

Abstract. Using audio visualization, we seek to demonstrate how natural interaction is augmented with the addition of interaction history. Our Conversation Clock visualization captures and represents audio in a persistent and meaningful representation to provide social cues not available in an otherwise ephemeral conversation. In this paper we present user study evaluation of the Conversation Clock as utilized by familiar groups and demonstrate how individuals use the salient cues to evaluate their own interaction.
