Abstract

See full text

Data sonification arrangements for use with data visualization so as to provide parallel perceptual channels for representing complex numerical data to a user seeking to identify correlations within the data are presented. In an implementation, several varying data quantities are represented by time-varying graphics while several other varying data quantities are represented by time-varying sound, both presented to a user to observe correlations between sonic and visual events or trends. Sonification can be used to offload some information-carrying information capacity from a visualization system, while other information can be rendered via both sonification and visualization to provide affirming or orienting redundancy. In an implementation joint and coordinated visual-sonic metaphors are used for this or other purposes. For example, data sonification can include multiple data-modulated sound timbre classes, each rendered within a stereo sound field according to a spatial metaphor that is shared with the visualization.
