Abstract

The goals of the Advanced Audio Interfaces research stream in the CSIRO ICT Centre were to 

	* develop world leading expertise and technologies in Advanced Audio Interfaces right here in Australia.  
	* give Australian companies a competitive advantage by fast-tracking uptake of Advanced Auditory Interfaces expertise and technologies  
	* generate an international perception of Australia as a unique niche centre for Advanced Auditory Interfaces expertise and technologies.  

In this talk I will describe our strategy and efforts to achieve these goals through collaborations with information-intensive and high-tech SMEs in Australia working in areas such as sports and athletics, computer gaming, financial analysis, and neuroscience, contributions to CSIRO cross-divisional workshops on Flexible Electronics and Robotics, participation in academic networks, committees and conferences, and the production of the World Premiere Concert of Sonifications at the Sydney Opera House. 

I will follow these descriptions with indications of progress towards the goals that include a rise from 5% to 35% in Australian content accepted for the Proceedings of the International Conference on Auditory Display between 2003 and 2004, the almost all Australian organising committee for the International Conference on Auditory Display in 2004, and a 50% rate of Australian submissions for the World Premiere Concert of Sonifications.
