Auditory displays of electric power grids
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2018-06)This paper presents auditory displays of power grid voltage. Due to the constantly changing energy demands experienced by a power system, the voltage varies slightly about nominal, e.g., 120±2 V at 60±0.04 Hz. These ... -
Sonification as ASDR: Proceedings of the 24th Annual International Conference on Auditory Display
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2018-06)Complete proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD2018), June 10-15, 2018, Michigan Technological University, Houghton, MI, USA. -
Wave Space Sonification
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2018-06)This paper introducesWave Space Sonification (WSS), a novel class of sonification techniques for time- (or space-) indexed data. WSS doesn’t fall into the classes of Audification, Parameter- Mapping Sonification or ... -
CardioSounds: A portable system to sonify ECG rhythm disturbances in real-time
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2018-06)CardioSounds is a portable system that allows users to measure and sonify their electrocardiogram signal in real-time. The ECG signal is acquired using the hardware platform BITalino and subsequently analyzed and sonified ... -
Towards Ecological and Embodied Design of Auditory Display
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2018-06)Auditory display research has been criticised over a perceived lack of progress in tackling key issues relating to usability and user-experience. However, emerging trends in design-thinking present new tools for addressing ... -
Humanising data through sound: Res Extensae and a user-centric approach to data sonification
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2018-06)In this paper, starting from a case study (the mixed-media data sonification installation Res Extensae), we discuss a number of assumptions on the efficacy of sound as a means to represent and communicate numerical data. ... -
Investigating effective methods of designing sonifications
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2018-06)This study aims to provide an insight into effective sonification design. There are currently no standardized design methods, allowing a creative development approach. Sonifcation has been implemented in many ... -
Planethesizer: Approaching exoplanet sonification
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2018-06)The creation of simulations, sounds and images based on information related to an object of investigation is currently a real tool used in multiple areas to bring the non-specialized public closer to scientific achievements ... -
SoundTrAD, a method and tool for prototyping auditory displays: Can we apply it to an autonomous driving scenario?
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2018-06)This paper presents SoundTrAD, a method and tool for designing auditory displays for the user interface. SoundTrAD brings together ideas from user interface design and soundtrack composition and supports novice auditory ... -
Recognizability and perceived urgency of bicycle bells
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2018-06)Raising awareness about how alarm sounds are perceived and evaluated by an individual in traffic scenery is important for developing new alarm designs, as well as for improving existing ones. Bearing a positive contribution ... -
Augmentation of an institute’s kitchen: An ambient auditory display of electric power consumption
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2018-06)Efficient feedback on energy consumption is regarded as one step towards a more sustainable lifestyle.
