Versum: Data Sonification and Visualization in 3D

Abstract

Versum is an advanced, interactive 3D audiovisual composition environment which is augmented with a hardware and software front-end system that maps data into the environment for the purposes of exploratory scientific analysis. Originally intended as an audiovisual sequencer for real-time or automatable music and video performance, Versum also provides a unique environment for systematically investigating new data mappings for optimized human cognition of complex datasets.
