Computer Output Media

The second part of the machine-to-man communication is mainly influenced by the devices and methods that are used to address the senses described in sections 2.1.2 -- 2.1.4 . Despite the technical limitations that still exist today, there are a number of ways for machines to communicate with their users. Some of them will be presented in the following sections.

• Output modalities
• Devices and methods for visual output
• Devices and methods for acoustical output
  • Speech output
  • Non-speech audio output
  • Sound spatialization
  • Hardware platforms
• Devices and methods for tactile/haptic output
