Communication visual aids

While speaking, also remember that visual aids do not have ears. Many speakers do not realize this fact and thus talk more to the visual aid than to the audience. The typical speaker stands at an angle between the visual aid and the audience, thus eliminating face-to-face communication with one-... 

Visual aids must always support what is being communicated. They are not an end to themselves.

In contrast, the listener receives spoken communication as multi-channel input, as Figure 3.2 illustrates. The speaker sends, intentionally or unintentionally, and the listener receives a three-component message (Decker 1992). The components of your spoken message are 1) verbal, the words you use 2) vocal, how you use your voice to say the words and 3) visual, your facial and body expressions and motion and the visual aides you use as you speak. What is the relative input of the three Vs of spoken communication Research suggests (e.g., Atkinson 2007, Restak and Kim 2010) that the visual is at least as important as the verbal. Plan your spoken presentations accordingly. Explicitly plan for and use the verbal, vocal, and visual components of spoken communication, and place appropriate emphasis on each. 

Following a sanple student design report, this chapter offers models of both strong and weak written communication in several formats memoranda, visual aides, and short design reports. A checklist of common errors is provided. (Available on the acconpanying CD.)... 

Visual aids, properly conceived and employed, can be the key to effective oral communications. They can be especially useful to engineers in explaining complex subjects and summarizing the results of large projects. 

Color assessments include visual and spectrophotometric methods, both of which employ reference standards to aid in the communication of results. For instance, the visual method involves a comparison of the color of the test sample with known concentrations of potassium chloropalatinate (K PtCip and cobalt (II) chloride (CoCl ) in distilled water. The estimated color of the test sample is then used to calculate color units, using the following equation ... 

Abstract. Mobile device users can be in a variety of different situations where visual, audio, or tactile feedback is not appropriate. Tbis research aims to investigate the design of auditory/tactile crossmodal icons which can provide an alternative form of output using the most appropriate modality to communicate information. The results of this research will aid designers of mobile displays in creating effective crossmodal cues which require minimal training and provide alternative presentation modalities through which information may be presented if the context requires.
