abstract = "The ActiVis project{\textquoteright}s aim is to build a mobile guidance aid to help people with limited vision find objects in an unknown environment. This system uses bone-conduction headphones to transmit audio signals to the user and requires an effective non-visual interface. To this end, we propose a new audio-based interface that uses a spatialised signal to convey a target{\textquoteright}s position on the horizontal plane. The vertical position on the median plan is given by adjusting the tone{\textquoteright}s pitch to overcome the audio localisation limitations of bone-conduction headphones. This interface is validated through a set of experiments with blindfolded and visually impaired participants.",
