To date, sonification apps are rare. Music apps on the other hand are widely used. Smartphone users like to play with music. In this manuscript, we present Mixing Levels, a spirit level sonification based on music mixing. Tilting the…
Sonification is the transformation of data into acoustic signals, achievable through different techniques. Sonification can be defined as a way to represent data values and relations as perceivable sounds, aiming at facilitating their…
Sonification research is intrinsically interdisciplinary. Consequently, a proper documentation of, and interdisciplinary discourse about a sonification is often hindered by terminology discrepancies between involved disciplines, i.e., the…
People usually seek out varied information to deal with their health problems. However, the large volume of information available may present challenges for the public to distinguish good from suboptimal advice. How to ensure the right…
Sonification, or conveying data using non-verbal audio, is a relatively niche but growing approach for presenting data across multiple specialist domains including astronomy, climate science, and beyond. The STRAUSS Python package aims to…
The convergence between astronomy and data sonification represents a significant advancement in the approach and analysis of cosmic information. By surpassing the visual exclusivity in data analysis in astronomy, innovative projects have…
Social robots are required not only to understand human intentions but also to effectively communicate their intentions or own internal states to users. This study explores the use of sonification to provide explicit auditory feedback,…
Mobile devices often distribute measurements from physical sensors to multiple applications using software multiplexing. On Android devices, the highest requested sampling frequency is returned to all applications, even if others request…
The field of sonification, using of non-speech audio for data analysis, is already established in space sciences. Meetings like "The audible Universe" focus on sonification tools applied in astronomy to represent complex data like nebulae…
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…
Even in the digital age, designers largely rely on physical material samples to illustrate their products, as existing visual representations fail to sufficiently reproduce the look and feel of real world materials. Here, we investigate the…
Mobile smartphones along with embedded sensors have become an efficient enabler for various mobile applications including opportunistic sensing. The hi-tech advances in smartphones are opening up a world of possibilities. This paper…
The proliferation of mobile applications and the subsequent sharing of personal data with service and application providers have given rise to substantial privacy concerns. Application marketplaces have introduced mechanisms to conform to…
Solid materials may appear static, but at the atomic scale they are in constant vibrational motion. These vibrations, described by phonons, govern many key material properties, including structural stability, mechanical strength, optical…
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…
Over the last ten years there has been a large increase in the number of projects using sound to represent astronomical data and concepts. Motivation for these projects includes the potential to enhance scientific discovery within complex…
The continual proliferation of mobile devices has encouraged much effort in using the smartphones for indoor positioning. This article is dedicated to review the most recent and interesting smartphones based indoor navigation systems,…
Excessive use of smartphones is a worldwide known issue. In this study, we proposed a notification-based intervention approach to reduce smartphone overuse without making the user feel any annoyance or irritation. Most of the work in this…
New computational devices, in particular wearable devices, offer the unique property of always being available and thus to be able to constantly update the user with information, such as by notifications. While research has been done in…
A multi-disciplinary team recently came together online to discuss the application of sonification in astronomy, focussing on the effective use of sound for scientific discovery and for improving accessibility to astronomy research and…
