ICAD stands for the International Community of Auditory Display
and organises a conference, a web site, and a mailing list

ICAD is a forum for presenting research on the use of sound to display data, monitor systems, and
provide enhanced user interfaces for computers and virtual reality systems. It is unique in its
singular focus on auditory displays and the array of perception, technology, and application areas
that this encompasses. Research areas covered by ICAD include: 

       Auditory exploration of data via sonification (data controlled sound) and audification
       (audible playback of data samples) 
       Real Time monitoring of multivariate data 
       Sound in Immersive Interfaces (Virtual Environments) and Teleoperation 
       Perceptual issues in Auditory Display 
       Sound in generalized computer interfaces 
       Technologies supporting Auditory Display creation 
       Data handling for Auditory Display systems 
       Applications of Auditory Display 

Included within each of these areas of inquiry are many issues concerning application, theory,
hardware/software, and human factors. Integration with speech-audio implementations and with
graphical display techniques and their concomitant perception issues also pose significant
challenges in each area.
