Abstract
Using auditory menus on a mobile device has been studied in
depth with standard flicking, as well as wheeling and tapping
interactions. Here, we introduce and evaluate a new type of
interaction with auditory menus, intended to speed up
movement through a list. This multimodal “sliding index”
was compared to use of the standard flicking interaction on a
phone, while the user was also engaged in a driving task. The
sliding index was found to require less mental workload than
flicking. What’s more, the way participants used the sliding
index technique modulated their preferences, including their
reactions to the presence of audio cues. Follow-on work
should study how sliding index use evolves with practice.
