sMax: A Multimodal Toolkit for Stock Market Sonification
نویسنده
چکیده
In this work, we present sMax a multimodal toolkit for stock market data sonification. Unlike most research focusing their effort primarily on the sonification of single stock information, sMax provides an auditory display for the user to monitor parallel distributed data. sMax uses a set of Java and Max modules to map real time stock market information into recognizable musical patterns. One of the main design goals of the toolkit is to allow low-latency controls over real-time data sonification. Because of its object-oriented architecture, sMax can be easily extended by the user when additional functionality is required. The project outcomes range from the creation of art installations to auditory display for mobile computing devices. We present the theoretical background, and the structure of the program.

Evaluation of a Multimodal Sonification and Visualisation of Depth of Market Stock Data
Day traders make minute by minute decisions from depth of market stock data read from a table. A visualisation has been designed to help traders make better decisions from extra context and history in the display. An expert review of the visualisation identified the need for more dynamic information and higher resolution in critical areas. We designed a sonification to complement the visualisat...
متن کاملμ Max-Unity3D Interoperability Toolkit
Object-oriented rapid prototyping tools geared towards multimedia, such as Max/MSP/Jitter and Pd/Gem, serve as a powerful foundation for efficient multimodal crosspollination and integration. Although both Max and Pd support OpenGL, the lack of scalability, user-friendly 3D editor, and physics engine makes them less desirable solutions for the rapid development of complex environments and physi...

This paper describes work-in-progress on a platformindependent toolkit for sonification of scientific data. The data being displayed and the sonification control information can be provided in real-time and distributed over a wide area via Ethernet. The toolkit allows the designer to process, scale, and map data to a wide variety of sonification parameters and methods. Sonification processing a...
متن کاملA Toolkit for Interactive Sonification
This paper describes work-in-progress on an Interactive Sonification Toolkit which has been developed in order to aid the analysis of general data sets. The toolkit allows the designer to process and scale data sets, then rapidly change the sonification method. The human user can then interact with the data in a fluid manner, continually controlling the position within the set. The interface us...
متن کاملSonification and the Interaction of Perceptual Dimensions: Can the Data Get Lost in the Map?
Many sonification techniques use acoustic attributes such as frequency, intensity, and timbre to represent different characteristics of multidimensional data. Here we demonstrate a perceptual interaction between changes in pitch and loudness, as well as perceived asymmetries in directional change. Three experiments show that changes in loudness can influence judgments of pitch change, changes i...
