Implementing the sound in your user interface can be as simple or complex as necessary in order to support the feel and aesthetic. Simply put, the sound should serve as an extension of the experience; whether navigating through or transitioning between gameplay and the menu system, everything should support the artistic scope. Wwise puts the decisions into the hands of the sound designer by allowing for the finer details of interaction to be managed through the event system.
