      In the construction of sound objects into an application, the designer's skills to communicate through sounds is the cornerstone of the activity. In such an expertise, the knowledge about the human way of interpreting ...
    • SONIFYER A Concept, a Software, a Platform 

      Dombois, Florian (International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)
      In this article we would like to focus on two structural questions, that could be useful for improving the general acceptance of sonification research: On the one hand we are argueing for a new generation of sonification ...
    • Sound Design for Navigation in Topophonies 

      Cahen, Roland (International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)
      This paper attempts to develop concepts of multimodal objects made out of the interaction between space and sound though motion. The present paper is mostly descriptive and tries to gather experiences in order to delimit ...
    • Sound Editing on the Sonogram 

      Boggards, Niels (International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)
      Sound editing applications commonly use a waveform display to graphically represent a sound signal. This representation not only conveys little information relevant to sound design, it also severely limits the ways in which ...
    • Spherical Microphone Array Based Immersive Audio Scene Rendering 

      O'Donovan, Adam M; Zotkin, Dmitry N; Duraiswami, Ramani (International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)
      In many applications such as entertainment, education, military training, remote telepresence, surveillance, etc. it is necessary to capture an acoustic field and present it to listeners with a goal of creating the same ...
    • Strategies for Sonic Interaction Design: from Context to Basic Design 

      Franinovic, Karmen; Visell, Yon (International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)
      We advocate a new approach to the design of interactive and sonically augmented artifacts. It is aimed at enriching the context within which design takes place, while integrating the level of structured exploration that ...
    • Stream-Based Sonification Diagrams 

      Barrass, Stephen; Best, Virginia (International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)
      The van Noorden Diagram describes the auditory streaming of two tones with changes in pitch difference and intertone onset interval (IOI). There are regions where the listener hears one stream or two streams, and an ambiguous ...
    • A Study Toward the Development of a Spatial, O Speech Auditory Interface for Trigonometric Problem Solvig 

      Neff, Flaithri; Pitt, Ian (International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)
      There are numerous difficulties for visually disabled students when tackling mathematical problems. This relates more to methods of presentation rather than to any deficiency in the students' abilities. Although presentational ...
    • Sumo. A Sonification Utility for Molecules 

      Grand, Florian; Dall Antonia, Fabio (International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)
      In this paper we present SUMO, an open source software environment, which is designed to facilitate the open development of molecular sonifications for everyday research in chemistry and structural biology. Sonifications ...
    • Taxonomy and Definitions for Sonification and Auditory Display 

      Hermann, Thomas (International Community for Auditory Display, 2008-06)
      Sonification is still a relatively young research field and many terms such as sonification, auditory display, auralization, audification have been used without a precise definition. Recent developments such as the ...
