A graph-based system for the dynamic generation of soundscapes
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2009-05)This paper presents a graph-based system for the dynamic gen- eration of soundscapes and its implementation in an application that allows for an interactive, real-time exploration of the result- ing soundscapes. The ... -
An interface and framework design for interactive aesthetic sonification
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2009-05)This paper describes the interface design of our AeSon (Aesthetic Sonification) Toolkit motivated by user-centred customisation of the aesthetic representation and scope of the data. The interface design is developed from ... -
Evaluation of auditory representations for selected applications of a graphical user interface
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2009-05)A survey with 50 blind and 100 sighted users included a questionnaire about their user habits during everyday use of personal computers. Based on their answers, the most important functions and applications were selected ... -
Allthatsounds: associative semantic categorization of audio data
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2009-05)Finding appropriate and high-quality audio files for the creation of a sound track nowadays presents a serious hurdle to many media producers. As most digital sound archives restrict the categoriza- tion of audio data to ... -
Earconsampler: a tool for designing emotional auditory driver-vehicle interfaces
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2009-05)EarconSampler is a simple tool for designing and modifying auditory driver-vehicle interfaces. It allows for creating melodic patterns of wav-snippets and easy adjustment of parameters such as tempo and pitch. It also ... -
From signal to substance and back: Insights from environmental sound research to auditory display design
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2009-05)A persistent concern in the field of auditory display design has been how to effectively use environmental sounds, which are naturally occurring familiar non-speech, non-musical sounds. Environmental sounds represent ... -
Evaluating the utility of auditory perspective-taking in robot speech presentations
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2009-05)In speech interactions, people routinely reason about each other’s auditory perspective and adjust their manner of speaking accordingly by raising their voice to overcome noise or distance, and sometimes by pausing and ... -
Full automation in live-electronics: advantages and disadvantages
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2009-05)The paper’s aim is to show a personal approach to the programming of live-electronics, which relies on the full automation of the real- time processing. After defining the term ‘live-electronics’, the article gives a summary ... -
Entropy sonification
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2009-05)We present entropy sonification, a technique to bring interesting data to the foreground of a sonification and push uninteresting data into the background. To achieve this, the data is modeled as an in- formation source, ... -
Measuring the use of sound in everyday software
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 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, ... -
Exploring concurrent auditory icon recognition
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2009-05)This poster explores and deepens existing studies into the identi- fication of concurrently presented auditory icons. The motivation for this work was to gain a better understanding of auditory icons where several are ... -
Extending alignment algorithm for polyphonic comparison
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2009-05)Existing symbolic music comparison systems generally consider monophonic music or monophonic reduction of polyphonic music. Adaptation of alignment algorithms to the music leads to accurate systems, but extensions to ... -
In this paper we extend the VIVO system with MIR function- ality that allows us to extract the VIVO rule database from a sym- bolic score. As a reference material we use a collection of se- lected Chorale harmonizations by J.S.Bach. Our extended system takes symbolic scores as input and generates a harmonic progres- sion database as output. The VIVO and the new extended sys- tem are realized inside the PWGL environment. Complete work- ing patches are given as examples. As a proof of concept the database-extracted from the repertoire-is then used in the VIVO to re-harmonize a short melody.

Intelligibility of low bit rate mpeg-coded japanese speech in virtual 3d audio space
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2009-05)In this paper, we investigated the influence of stereo coding on Japanese speech localized in 3-D virtual space. We encoded localized speech using Joint Stereo and Parametric Stereo modes within the HE-AAC (High-Efficiency ... -
A communal map of design in auditory display
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2009-05)The workshop on Recycling Auditory Displays at ICAD 2008 aimed to capture knowledge about the design of auditory displays from the participants in a manner that would be easy to understand and reuse. The participants ... -
Analysis/synthesis and spatialization of noisy environmental sounds
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2009-05)The use of stochastic modeling is discussed for analysis/synthesis and transformation of environmental sounds. The method leads to perceptually relevant synthetic sounds based on the analysis of nat- ural sounds. Applications ... -
Analysis of the drilling sound component from expert performance in a maxillo-facial surgery
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2009-05)Auditory displays can have a great potential in surgical simulators that aim at training skills associated to the correct interpretation of auditory information. Here, we present preliminary results in the analysis of the ... -
A sound design for the purposes of movement optimisation in elite sport (using the example of rowing)
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community for Auditory Display, 2009-05)Monitoring sportive movements is essential for training processes to detect variations as well as progression, stagnations or even regressions. Visualization plays the dominant role in the technique analysis, even though ... -
