Auditory graphs can be seen as an alternative to visual graphs or as an additional element to display data. This paper will offer an approach on how a simple sound mapping can be improved into a mental model. The ironic ...

An experiment is presented comparing the effectiveness of three parameters of sound for the auditory presentation of statistical data or auditory graphs. The dimensions of pitch, loudness, and time were used alone and ...

In this paper we shall briefly review previous work we have found directly relevant to our own research on the use of auditory graphs. We will then summarise previous unpublished experiences of us- ing auditory graphs in ...

Very little research has been done on the role of individual differences in the interpretation of auditory graphs. Research with the visually impaired, musicians, and college students point to interesting differences in ...

An overwhelming majority of auditory graphs employ a representational design that maps changes in a variable to changes in a ``low-level'' acoustic dimension such as frequency, intensity, or spectrum. However, there are ...

This paper presents one option for a research agenda for future work in auditory graphs. The main agenda items suggested are effectiveness of auditory graphs; sonification tools; role of memory and attention; real-world ...

The advantages of auditory display for monitoring real-time data are discussed. Parallels between the structures of real-time data and music are emphasized as potentially fruitful areas of research. The Accentus LLC design ...

Motivated by the need for a multi-platform, multipurpose toolkit for sonifying data, the Sonification Sandbox allows users to map data to multiple auditory parameters and add context using a graphical interface. The ...

A good deal of attention has been paid by the auditory display community to the sonification of graphical data and the term au- ditory graph has been used to describe this class of auditory map- pings. We contend that ...

While developments in sound production hardware now make the creation of auditory graphs possible for casual users of personal computers, some of the same pitfalls to effective auditory display development that arose in ...
