My research explores how sonification can be used together with visualization to perceptualize data and convey information. Sonification is the method of using sound to convey information, and can be used as a complement to visualization to convey additional information. Furthermore, it can also be used to support the visual perception and offer more ways of presenting the same data through another perceptual modality, which could make it easier to understand and appreciate the information.
The research is conducted in a user-centered manner by collaborating with visualization developers and domain experts through the design process of the sonification. The sonification is integrated with the environment where the visualization is displayed to create a realistic proof-of-concept of the design. The environment is also used as the evaluation platform for conducting evaluations with the users of the visualization to evaluate the contribution of the sonification in an ecologically valid manner.
