In our day-to-day lives, we process complex layering, mapping and placement of sounds to make sense of the world around us, yet, in our applications, this crucial sensory experience has been reduced to non-descript alarms.

Through user research and testing with members of the blind community in Manhattan, we have designed a series of surround sound representations of common calendar information that lets users score the composition of their daily lives.
