Abstract
Route guidance systems are used every day by both, sighted and
visually impaired people. Systems, such as those built into cars
and smart phones, usually using speech to direct the user towards
their desired location. Sounds other than functional and speech
sounds can, however, be used for directing people in distinct directions.
The present paper compares response times with different
stimuli and error rates in the detection. Functional sounds are
chosen with and without intrinsic meanings, musical connotations,
and stereo locations. Panned sine tones are identified as the fastest
and most correctly identified stimuli in the test while speech is
not identified faster than arbitrary sounds that have no particular
meaning.
