[Blindmath] Graph Sonification was: Researhc Project-Correction to project download page

[Matthew2010]

Cool, but most of this stuff goes by the wayside once the researcher gathers data, writes his research paper/dissertation, and moves on. This similar sound thing was being presented as the greatest thing for the blind in relation to colors but eventually that disappeared too as people lost interest. Thanks for the explanation.

Thanks Deddi for that.

Actually, Sonification is the use of non-speech audio to convey 
information.

In the case of Graphs, researchers currently try to manipulate some 
parameters of sound like loudness, pitch, frequency, and tempo with a 
bid to represent the differences between two or more data.

It is quite an evolving field that is witnessing lots of research at the 
moment.

Regards,
Paul

Some researchers are investigating the use of "music" to provide feedback on a graph. Some researchers are using everyday sounds such as the sound of a door closing to indicate that you are at the far edge of the screen.

Dr Stockman, who has done some research in Sonification agreed and assigned Paul, one of his student the project of developing such an application.
