Auditory display of hyperspectral colon tissue images using vocal synthesis models
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)The human ability to recognize, identify and compare sounds based on their approximation of particular vowels provides an intuitive, easily learned representation for complex data. We describe implementations of vocal tract ... -
The interaction between head-tracker latency, source duration, and response time in the localization of virtual sound sources
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)One of the fundamental limitations on the fidelity of interactive virtual audio display systems is the delay that occurs between the time a listener changes his or her head position and the the time the display changes its ... -
Soundstudio4D - A VR interface for gestural composition of spatial soundscapes
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)We describe a software system which enables computergenerated soundscapes to be synthesised, spatialised and edited using a gestural interface. Iterative design and testing of the software interface has taken place in a ... -
Geometric shape detection with soundview
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)We present the results of user studies that were performed on sighted people to test their ability to detect simple shapes with SoundView. SoundView is an experimental vision substitution system for the blind. Visual images ... -
A toolkit for interactive sonification
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)This paper describes work-in-progress on an Interactive Sonification Toolkit which has been developed in order to aid the analysis of general data sets. The toolkit allows the designer to process and scale data sets, then ... -
Connecting virtual sound and physical space in audio-augmented environments
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)This paper describes strategies to create multimodal coherences between sound and space in Audio-Augmented Environments. Visitors to AAEs wear motion-tracked wireless headphones displaying a location-aware, adaptive audio ... -
Atmospherics/Weather works: A multi-channel storm sonification project
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)Atmospherics/Weather Works is an interdisciplinary project in the sonification of storms and other meteorological events generated directly from data produced by a highly detailed and physically accurate model of weather ... -
Aural maps, neural futures
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)``If the mental objects of philosophy, art, and science have a place it will be in the deepest synaptic fissures, in the hiatuses, intervals, and mean-times of the non-objectifiable brain, in a place where to go in search ... -
A flexible framework for real-time sonification with sonart
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)We describe significant developments towards a real-time implementation of SonArt, the parameter mapping framework first presented in [1] 1. Enhancements include the incorporation of Open Sound Control (OSC) [2] which ... -
External auditory representations of programs: Past, present, and future - an aesthetic perspective
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)This paper provides a summary of previous work done in the area of external auditory representations of programs (known as program auralisation). A brief historical review is given followed by a short summary of the ... -
How to tackle auditory interface aesthetics? Discussion and case study
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)This paper discusses the importance of auditory interface aesthetics and presents an empirical investigation of sound aesthetics in context. The theoretical discussion examines the relationship between sound aesthetics and ... -
Comparing and reusing visualisation and sonification designs using the ms-taxonomy
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)Comparing designs of sonifications is difficult enough but comparing a visual display with a sound display is much harder. Yet the designer of multi-sensory displays would like to make sensible decisions about when to use ... -
Control and measurement of apparent sound source width and its applications to sonification and virtual auditory displays
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)The aim of this paper is to investigate the possibility of using the spatial extent of sound sources as a mean of carrying information in sonification designs. To do so, we studied the accuracy of the perception of ... -
Creating functional and livable soundscapes for peripheral monitoring of dynamic data
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)Sonifications must be studied in order to match listener expectancies about data representation in the form of sound. In this study, a system was designed and implemented for dynamically rendering sonifications of simulated ... -
The design of mixed-use virtual auditory displays: Recent findings with a dual-task paradigm
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)In the third of an ongoing series of exploratory sound information display studies, we augmented a dual task with a mixed-use auditory display designed to provide relevant alert information for each task. The tasks entail ... -
Sonification of geo-referenced data for auditory information seeking: Design principle and pilot study
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)We present an Auditory Information Seeking Principle (AISP) (gist, navigate, filter, and details-on-demand) modeled after the visual information seeking mantra [1]. We propose that data sonification designs should conform ... -
Friction sounds for sensory substitution
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)This paper explores the use of a physics-based sound model of continuous contact for auditory display in interactive settings. An audio-visual interactive display is developed in which the sound model is controlled by the ... -
Simultaneous Manipulation of Parameters of Auditory Icons to Convey Direction, Size, and Distance: Effects on Recognition and Interpretation
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)Auditory icons – or environmental sounds – have the potential to convey information by non-verbal means quickly and accurately. In addition, human listeners are quick to determine many qualities of an auditory object, such ... -
Reeds - a responsive sound installation
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)This paper discusses the responsive sound installation Reeds. The Melbourne International Festival of the Arts commissioned the Reeds project in 2000, for exhibition on the Ornamental Lake at the Royal Botanic Gardens, ... -
Selective and divided attention: Extracting information from simultaneous sound sources
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2004-07)The way in which sounds interact and interfere with each other (both acoustically and perceptually) has an important influence on how well an auditory display can convey information. While spatial separation of simultaneous ...
