Sound-based image and positon recognition system: SIPReS
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2018-06)We developed software called SIPReS, which describes two-dimensional images with sound. With this system, visually-impaired people can tell the location of a certain point in an image just by hearing notes of frequency ... -
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 ... -
Using a multimodal immersive environment to investigate perceptions in augmented virtual reality systems
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2018-06)The Collaborative-Research Augmented Immersive Virtual Environment Laboratory at Rensselaer is a state-of-the-art space that offers users the capabilities of multimodality and immersion. Realistic and abstract sets of ... -
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 ... -
ToxSampler: Locative sound art exploration of the Toxic Release Inventory
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2018-06)Regulatory geographic datasets that inform citizen’s lives are, in general, responsive to engaged search and visual, attentive browsing, but are not designed for directly informing the lived context. The density of ... -
Sonifying stochastic walks on biomolecular energy landscapes
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2018-06)Translating the complex, multi-dimensional data produced by simulations of biomolecules into an intelligible form is a major challenge in computational chemistry and biology. The so-called “free energy landscape” is ... -
A study of exploratory analysis in melodic sonification with structural and durational time scales
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2018-06)Melodic sonification is one of the most common methods of sonification: data modulates the pitch of an audio synthesizer over time. This simple sonification, however, still raises questions about how we listen to a ... -
“Musical Exercise” for people with visual impairments: A preliminary study with the blindfolded
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2018-06)Performing independent physical exercise is critical to maintain one's good health, but it is specifically hard for people with visual impairments. To address this problem, we have developed a Musical Exercise platform ... -
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 ... -
Fluor Sonescence: A Sonification of the Visualization of Brass Instrument Tones
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2018-06)This paper is a discussion of the composition Fluor Sonescence, which combines trombone, electronics and video. The trombone and electronics are a mediated sonification of the video component. The video is a high framerate ... -
Examining the learnability of auditory displays: Music, earcons, spearcons, and lyricons
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2018-06)Auditory displays are a useful platform to convey information to users for a variety of reasons. The present study sought to examine the use of different types of sounds that can be used in auditory displays—music, ... -
Plausible auditory augmentation of physical interaction
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2018-06)Interactions with physical objects usually evoke sounds, i.e., auditory feedback that depends on the interacting objects (e.g., table, hand, or pencil) and interaction type (e.g., tapping or scratching). The continuous ... -
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 ... -
Reimagining human capacity for location-aware aural pattern recognition: A case for immersive exocentric sonification
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInternational Community on Auditory Display, 2018-06)The following paper presents a cross-disciplinary snapshot of 21st century research in sonification and leverages the review to identify a new immersive exocentric approach to studying human capacity to perceive spatial ... -
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. Sonification is very apt to convey such information continuously in an ambient and effective way. This paper presents ... -
