Teleconference participants often multitask: they work on a text-based 'foreground' task whilst listening in the 'back- ground' for an item of interest to appear. Audio material should therefore be presented in a manner that has the smallest possible impact on the foreground task without affecting topic detection. Here, we ask whether dichotic or spatialised audio presentation of a meeting is less disruptive than the single-channel mixture of talkers normally used in teleconference audio. A number of talker location configurations are used, and we examine how these impact upon a text-based foreground task: finding all let- ter 'e' occurrences in a block of text. Additionally, we exam- ine the effect of cueing the listener to direction or gender and record listener preferences for audio presentation style. Our re- sults suggest that spatialised audio disrupts the foreground task less than single-channel audio when direction or gender is cued. Index Terms: multitasking, spatialisation, teleconference |
