Using Multi-channel Spatialization in Sonification: a Case Study with Meteorological Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spatialization can be used in sonification as an additional mapping dimension. Immersive spatialization also transmits more auditory data to a subject, compared to monophonic or stereophonic presentation. In this study the VBAP spatialization method is applied to the sonification of meteorological data gathered from a large geographical area in two different listening conditions. Parameter-driven FM synthesis, using JSyn (a Java-based sound API) [1] was used to reinforce the spatialization with timbral coloring. The sonification, designed to display a year of data in about twenty minutes, afforded a sense of storm movement, North-South seasonal variation, and comparison between years.

متن کاملMonitoring Real-time Data: a Sonification Approach
This paper describes an approach to sonifying and displaying remotely sensed data. A representative sample dataset was audified using synthetic sounds, and sonified using orchestral instruments. The resulting 14 data streams were streamed in real-time and rendered using 3 display methods. Audio spatialization using HRTF processing is compared with stereo and monophonic display. Listening tests ...

متن کاملVoice of Sisyphus: an Image Sonification Multimedia Installation
Voice of Sisyphus is a multimedia installation consisting of a projection of a black and white image sonified and spatialized through a 4 channel audio system. The audio-visual composition unfolds as several regions within the image are filtered, subdivided, and repositioned over time. Unlike the spectrograph approach used by most graphical synthesis programs, our synthesis technique is derived...
