Outline of Final Research Achievements |
"Sonification" is a kind of techniques to convey data relations that are originally not perceivable to humans by converting them to non-voice, acoustic signals. While many studies have been done around it since 1990s, no solid guidelines have been established regarding how to design mappings from data to sound. This research project aimed to study theories of designing effective sonification to acoustically represent the state of controlled systems that changes from moment to moment. Empirical studies that examined various data-to-sound mappings by experiments were conducted to find principles of sonification design considering properties of variables and their relations to be represented by artificial sounds. The studies revealed several points of effective sonification design including what type of tasks is preferable to be supported by sonifications to visual displays.
