Tweetscapes - Real-time Sonification of Twitter data streams for Radio Broadcasting
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-06)
This paper introduces Tweetscapes, a system that transforms message streams from Twitter in real-time into a soundscape that allows the listener to perceive characteristics of twitter messages such as their density, origin, ...
Aquarium fugue: interactive sonification for children and visually impaired audience in informal learning environments
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-06)
In response to the need for more accessible Informal Learning Environments (ILEs), the Georgia Tech Accessible Aquarium Project has been studying sonification for the use in live exhibit interpretation in aquariums. The ...
Shaking up Earth Science: Visual and Auditory Representations of Earthquake Interactions
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-06)
One earthquake can influence subsequent earthquakes. To demonstrate such earthquake interactions, seismologists have used in the past "snapshot" static images. Although statis images can, by themselves, convey basic ...
A sonification of Kepler space telescope star data
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-06)
A performing artist group interested in including a sonification of star data from NASA’s Kepler space telescope in their next album release approached the Georgia Tech Sonification Lab for assistance in the process. The ...
The Sounds of the Discussion of Sounds
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-06)
The Sound of the Discussion of Sounds is a real-time composition and performance computer program built in PHP, MySQL, Max/MSP and Ableton Live that allows listeners to musically hear the subtle changes that occur over ...
Multi-dimensional synchronization for rhythmic sonification
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-06)
Human locomotion is fundamentally periodic, so when sonifying gait, it is desirable to exploit this periodicity to produce rhythmic sonification synchronized to the motion. To achieve this rhythmic sonification, some ...
Non-Speech Audio-Semiotics: A Review and Revision of Auditory Icon and Earcon Theory
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-06)
The aim of this paper is to develop a theory and taxonomy of auditory signs, based on semiotics. For more than two decades, the discourse on non-speech audio interfaces has been dominated by a dichotomy between auditory ...
Sound Effect Metaphors for Near Field Distance Sonification
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-06)
This article presents a concept of distance sound source sonification for virtual auditory displays in the context of the creation of an assistive device for the visually impaired. In order to respond to user needs, three ...
Cross-modal collaborative interaction between visually-impaired and sighted users in the workplace
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-06)
We present a detailed description of the design and integration of auditory and haptic displays in a collaborative diagram editing tool to allow simultaneous visual and non-visual interaction. The tool was deployed in ...
"Trained ears" and "correlation coefficients": A social science perspective on sonification
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-06)
This paper presents a social science perspective on the field of sonification research. Adopting a perspective informed by constructivist science and technology studies (STS), the paper begins by arguing why sonification ...
