Edukoi is a software that aims to make interactive sonification suitable to convey and extract information. The program design is a modification of the software Herakoi, which sonifies images in real time mapping pitch to colour using a…
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…
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…
Data analysis in space sciences has been performed exclusively visually for years, despite the fact that the largest amount of data belongs to non-visible portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. This, on the one hand, limits the study of…
Most tools for astrophysical research was centered on visual display. Even after some studies shows that the use of sound could help the data analysis, and on the other hand generate more accessibility. This fact motivates the creation of a…
Sonification as a complement of visualization is been under research for decades as a new ways of data deployment. ICAD conferences, gather together specialists from different disciplines to discuss about sonification. Different tools as…
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…
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…
In the last decade, the multi-sensory approach to data analysis has gained relevance. The possibility of including people with vision difficulties in the field of education and the dissemination of science is part of it. However, in the…
Even when actual technologies present the potential to augment inclusion and the United Nations has been stablished the digital access to information as a human right, people with disabilities continuously faced barriers in their…
The exploration of the universe is experiencing a huge development thanks to the success and possibilities of today's major space telescope missions which can generate measurements and images with a resolution 100 times higher than their…
Historically, astronomy has prioritized visuals to present information, with scientists and communicators overlooking the critical need to communicate astrophysics with blind or low-vision audiences and provide novel channels for sighted…
Astronomy is a discipline primarily reliant on visual data. However, alternative data representation techniques are being explored, in particular ''sonification'', namely, the representation of data into sound. While there is increasing…
Sonification is the science of communication of data and events to users through sounds. Auditory icons, earcons, and speech are the common auditory display schemes utilized in sonification, or more specifically in the use of audio to…
Using open astronomical multifrequency databases, we constructed light curves and developed a comprehensive visualisation and sonification analysis for the blazars Mrk~501, Mrk~1501, Mrk~421, BL~Lacerta, AO~0235+164, 3C~66A, OJ~049, OJ~287,…
Robotic perception is becoming a key technology for navigation aids, especially helping individuals with visual impairments through spatial sonification. This paper introduces a mapping representation that accurately captures scene geometry…
When operating a machine, the operator needs to know some spatial relations, like the relative location of the target or the nearest obstacle. Often, sensors are used to derive this spatial information, and visual displays are deployed as…
In a context of increasing scientific specialization and deficiencies in the scientific literacy of the population, there arises a need to broaden the methods of scientific dissemination. This study proposes an approach that combines music…
Sonification, or encoding information in meaningful audio signatures, has several advantages in augmenting or replacing traditional visualization methods for human-in-the-loop decision-making. Standard sonification methods reported in the…
Interactive Sonification is a well-known guidance method in navigation tasks. Researchers have repeatedly suggested the use of interactive sonification in neuronavigation and image-guided surgery. The hope is to reduce clinicians' cognitive…
