This chapter looks at a range of auditory display and sonification applications that have
tackled the problem of monitoring real-time data streams and concludes with some …

Data visualisations are increasingly used online to engage readers and enable independent
analysis of the data underlying news stories. However, access to such infographics is …

This chapter reviews many of the issues relating to the use of complex sound as warnings
and other types of auditory feedback. Methods of classifying sounds are presented within a …

Sliders and Visual Analogue Scales (VASs) are input mechanisms which allow users to
specify a value within a predefined range. At a minimum, sliders and VASs typically consist …

Objective: We examined whether spatialized nonspeech beacons could guide navigation
and how sound timbre, waypoint capture radius, and practice affect performance …

For all its potential in supporting data analysis, particularly in exploratory situations,
visualization also creates barriers: accessibility for blind and visually impaired individuals …

Motivation Scientists increasingly rely on intelligent information systems to help them in their
daily tasks, in particular for managing research objects, like publications or datasets. The …

Auditory display is the use of nonspeech sound to communicate information to a listener.
The field of auditory display encompasses everything from alarms to complex sonifications …

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 …

Sonification can be an effective medium for people with visual impairments to understand
data in visualizations. However, there are no universal design principles that apply to …
