Abstract

In this paper we investigate whether sound design guidelines used to improve navigation in a train station can be applied in providing navigation guidelines in a maze game. For this purpose, we designed a maze game and augmented it with auditory cues useful for the navigation of the maze. A between-subject experiment showed that auditory cues significantly reduce the time needed to complete the maze.
