Mappings and metaphors in auditory displays: An experimental assessment
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1996-11)
Auditory displays are becoming increasingly common, but there are still no general guidelines for mapping data dimensions (e.g., temperature) onto display dimensions (e.g., pitch). This paper presents experimental research ...
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 ...
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 ...
Aquarium sonification: Soundscapes for accessible dynamic informal learning environments
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006-06)
Museums, science centers, zoos and aquaria are faced with educating and entertaining an increasingly diverse visitor population with varying physical and sensory needs. There are very few guidelines to help these facilities ...
Psychophysical scaling of sonification mappings: A comparison of visually impaired and sighted listeners
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2001-07)
Magnitude estimation was used to determine preferred datato- display mappings, polarities, and psychophysical scaling functions relating data values (like temperature) to underlying acoustic parameters (like pitch, tempo, ...
To sonify or not to sonify? Educator perceptions of auditory display in interactive simulations
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021-06)
With the growing presence of auditory display in popular learning tools, it is beneficial to researchers to consider not only the perceptions of the students who use the tools, but the educators who include the tools ...
Psychophysical scaling of sonification mappings
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2000-04)
We determined preferred data-to-display mappings by asking experiment participants directly and then examined the psychophysical scaling functions relating perceived data values to underlying acoustic parameters. Presently, ...
Measuring the use of sound in everyday software
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-05)
Members of the ICAD community might contend that auditory interfaces and even just well-designed sound in computer interfaces could be used more often than is currently the case. However, it is not entirely clear where, ...
Relative intensity of auditory context for auditory graph design
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006-06)
A study examined the role of relative intensity levels for auditory context in auditory graph design. Auditory graphs were designed with auditory context equally as loud as sonified data, context 9 dB more intense than ...
Congruency effects with dynamic auditory stimuli: design implications
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1997-11)
Since pitch is a commonly varied parameter in auditory displays, we investigated whether it is possible to attend to relative pitch while ignoring changes in pitch, and whether changes in pitch could be assessed independently ...
