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...

In the field of data sonification, construction meaning is hampered by lack shared perceptual codes derived from common modes perception, as it happens for visual register. this paper, we re-organize knowledge previous experimental projects to build foundations future work in representation. This investigation aims identify patterns translation process different sensory modalities. To end, 80 a...

In Security Operations Centres (SOCs) security practitioners work using a range of tools to detect and mitigate malicious computer-network activity. Sonification, in which data is represented as sound, is said to have potential as an approach to addressing some of the unique challenges faced by SOCs. For example, sonification has been shown to enable peripheral monitoring of processes, which co...

Interactive visualisation methods have been used to understand realtime acoustic analysis for the purpose of learning musical skills. However, interactive sonification has not often been considered, perhaps because it is assumed the musician cannot concentrate simultaneously on two sounds – their instrument’s sound, and the sonified information. However, whilst some finesse is required in desig...

Three experiments explored the effectiveness of continuous auditory displays, or "sonifications", for conveying information about an anesthetized patient's respiratory state. Experiment 1 established aneffective respiratory sonification. Experiment 2 showed an effect of expertise in using respiratory sonfication and revealed that some apparent differences in sonification effectiveness could be ...

The need for better software tools was highlighted in the 1997 Sonification Report [1]. It included some general proposals for adapting sound synthesis software to the needs of sonification research. Now, a decade later, it is evident that the demands on software by sonification research are greater than those afforded by music composition and sound synthesis software. This paper compares some ...

Motivated by the need for a multi-platform, multipurpose toolkit for sonifying data, the Sonification Sandbox allows users to map data to multiple auditory parameters and add context using a graphical interface. The Sonification Sandbox is a cross-platform application authored in Java, using the Java Sound API to generate MIDI output. The software allows users to independently map several data ...

This paper presents a new interface for controlling sonification models. A haptic controller interface is developed which allows both to manipulate a sonification model, e.g. by interacting with it and to provide a haptic data representation. A variety of input types are supported with a hand-sized interface, including shaking, squeezing, hammering, moving, rotating and accelerating. The paper ...

This paper looks at the problem of using sonification to enable network administrators to maintaining situational awareness about their network environment. Network environments generate a lot of data and the need for continuous monitoring means that sonification systems must be designed in such a way as to maximise acceptance while minimising annoyance and listener fatigue. It will be argued t...

This paper describes the use of sonification to represent the scanned image data of skin pattern of the human body. Skin Patterns have different characteristics and visual features depending on the positions and conditions of the skin on the human body. The visual features are extracted and analyzed for sonification in order to broaden the dimensions of data representation and to explore the di...
