Abstract
A system indicates the status of a display object using an audible cue. The system associates a particular audible cue with each display object. The audible cue associated with the display object is generated if a pointer is positioned proximate the display object. The display object has an associated object activation region and the pointer has an associated activation region. The audible cue associated with the display object is generated when the object activation region intersects the activation region associated with the pointer.
