Psychophysical Scaling of Sonification Mappings with Blind and Visually Impaired Listeners
نویسندگان
چکیده
We used magnitude estimation to determine preferred datato-display mappings, polarities, and psychophysical scaling functions relating perceptual and conceptual data values to underlying acoustic parameters for blind and visually impaired listeners. We compare the resulting scaling functions to previous findings with sighted participants [1]. The findings have implications for the design of future sonifications for both blind and sighted users.

Psychophysical Scaling of Sonification Mappings: a Comparision of Visually Impaired and Sighted Listeners
Magnitude estimation was used to determine preferred datato-display mappings, polarities, and psychophysical scaling functions relating data values (like temperature) to underlying acoustic parameters (like pitch, tempo, or spectral brightness) for blind and visually impaired listeners. The resulting polarities and scaling functions were compared to findings with sighted participants. There was...
متن کاملPsychophysical Scaling of Sonification Mappings
We determined preferred data-to-display mappings by asking experiment participants directly and then examined the psychophysical scaling functions relating perceived data values to underlying acoustic parameters. Presently, we are extending and validating the scaled mappings in practical data interpretation tasks. The resulting scaling functions, in conjunction with the experimental paradigm de...

متن کاملA Modular Computer Vision Sonification Model for the Visually Impaired
This paper presents a Modular Computer Vision Sonification Model which is a general framework for acquisition, exploration and sonification of visual information to support visually impaired people. The model exploits techniques from Computer Vision and aims to convey as much information as possible about the image to the user, including color, edges and what we refer to as Orientation maps and...
متن کاملReview Paper: Rehabilitation of Blind People and People With Low Vision in Iran
Objectives: The blind and visually disabled people form a predominant group in the disabled society and hence, need greater attention. Most of the rehabilitation therapists, especially occupational therapists, do not focus on this group. Thus, the aim of the study is to shed light on the issue of negligent attitude of rehabilitation therapists, especially occupational therapists, toward blind a...
