An Immersive Virtual Environment for Congruent Audio-Visual Spatialized Data Sonifications
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)The use of spatialization techniques in data sonification provides system designers with an additional tool for conveying information to users. Oftentimes, spatialized data sets are meant to be experienced by a single ... -
A Comparison between the Efficacy of Task-Based Vs. Data-Based sEMG Sonification Designs
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)Historically, many sonification designs that have been used for data analysis purposes have been based on data characteristics and have not been explicitly based on the listener’s task. These sonification designs have ... -
Participatory Design Research Methodologies: A Case Study in Dancer Sonification
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)Given that embodied interaction is widespread in Human-Computer Interaction, interests on the importance of body movements and emotions are gradually increasing. The present paper describes our process of designing and ... -
How Do People Think They Remember Melodies and Timbres? Phenomenological Reports of Memory for Nonverbal Sounds
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)Memory for nonverbal sounds such as those used in sonifications has been recognized as a priority for cognitiveperceptual research in the field of auditory display. Yet memory processes for nonverbal sounds are not ... -
Did You Feel That? Developing Novel Multimodal Alarms for High Consequence Clinical Environments
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)Hospitals are overwhelmingly filled with sounds produced by alarms and patient monitoring devices. Consequently, these sounds create a fatiguing and stressful environment for both patients and clinicians. As an attempt ... -
Influences of Visual and Auditory Displays on Aimed Movements Using Air Gesture Controls
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)With the proliferation of technologies operated via in-air hand movements, e.g. virtual/augmented reality, in-vehicle infotainment systems, and large public information displays, there remains an open question about ... -
Frequency-Selective Silencing Device for Digital Filtering of Audible Medical Alarm Sounds to Enhance ICU Patient Recovery
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)Free-field auditory medical alarms, although widely present in intensive care units, have created many hazards for both patients and clinicians in this environment. The harsh characteristics of the alarm noise profile ... -
From Program Music to Sonification: Representation and the Evolution of Music and Language
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)Research into the origins of music and language can shed new light on musical representation, including program music and more recent incarnations such as data sonification. Although sonification and program music have ... -
Evaluating Two Ways to Train Sensitivity to Echoes to Improve Echolocation
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)We investigated whether training sighted individuals to attend to information in echoes could improve their active echolocation ability. We evaluated two training techniques that involved artificially generated sounds. Both ... -
Spectral Parameter Encoding: Towards a Framework for Functional-Aesthetic Sonification
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)Auditory-display research has had a largely unsolved challenge of balancing functional and aesthetic considerations. While functional designs tend to reduce musical expressivity for the fidelity of data, aesthetic or musical ... -
Empirically Informed Sound Synthesis Application for Enhancing the Perception of Expressive Robotic Movement
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)Since people often communicate internal states and intentions through movement, robots can better interact with humans if they too can modify their movements to communicate changing state. These movements, which may be ... -
Human and Machine Listening of Seismic Data
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)Geothermal energy mining consists of injecting cold water into hot rocks in order to create micro-fractures allowing heat to be extracted and converted into electrical energy. This water injection can trigger several ... -
madBPM: Musical and Auditory Display for Biological Predictive Modeling
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2017-06)The modeling of biological data can be carried out using structured sound and musical process in conjunction with integrated visualizations. With a future goal of improving the speed and accuracy of techniques currently ... -
Challenges and Constraints of Using Audio in Online Music Education
