Sonification
Sonification ("sounding") is the representation of data in sounds . In addition to the graphical representation of data, which makes them visually accessible, sonification thus represents an acoustic form of perception. Similar to visualization, sonification has scientific, didactic and aesthetic-artistic areas of application. It helps to grasp structures through hearing and thus to represent both new laws and already known relationships. Data can also be the starting material for compositional processing and interactive art .
Application examples
- Optophone
- Geiger counter
- sonar
- Acoustic representation in medicine and in the cockpit
- Acoustic thermometer, acoustic altimeter
- Learning of motion sequences, e.g. B. in competitive sports or after a stroke.
