TL;DR: This book presents a meta-modelling framework for automating the very labor-intensive and therefore time-heavy and expensive process of manually cataloging and reconstructing musical structures in data from Chaotic Attraction.

TL;DR: These uncertainty visualization techniques present data in such a manner that users are made aware of the locations and degree of uncertainties in their data so as to make more informed analyses and decisions.
Abstract: Visualized data often have dubious origins and quality. Different forms of uncertainty and errors are also introduced as the data are derived, transformed, interpolated, and finally rendered. In the absence of integrated presentation of data and uncertainty, the analysis of the visualization is incomplete at best and often leads to inaccurate or incorrect conclusions. This paper surveys techniques for presenting data together with uncertainty. These uncertainty visualization techniques present data in such a manner that users are made aware of the locations and degree of uncertainties in their data so as to make more informed analyses and decisions. The techniques include adding glyphs, adding geometry, modifying geometry, modifying attributes, animation, sonification, and psycho-visual approaches. We present our results in uncertainty visualization for environmental visualization, surface interpolation, global illumination with radiosity, flow visualization, and figure animation. We also present a classification of the possibilities in uncertainty visualization, and locate our contributions within this classification.

TL;DR: A new definition for sonification and auditory display is introduced that emphasizes the necessary and sufficient conditions for organized sound to be called sonification, and suggests a taxonomy, and discusses the relation between visualization and sonification.
Abstract: Sonification is still a relatively young research field and many terms such as sonification, auditory display, auralization, audification have been used without a precise definition. Recent developments such as the introduction of Model-Based Sonification, the establishment of interactive sonification and the increased interest in sonification from arts have raised the need to revisit the definitions in order to move towards a clearer terminology. This paper introduces a new definition for sonification and auditory display that emphasizes the necessary and sufficient conditions for organized sound to be called sonification. It furthermore suggests a taxonomy, and discusses the relation between visualization and sonification. A hierarchy of closed-loop interactions is furthermore introduced. This paper aims to initiate vivid discussion towards the establishment of a deeper theory of sonification and auditory display.

TL;DR: A system for wearable audio navigation (SWAN) is being developed to serve as a navigation and orientation aid for persons temporarily or permanently visually impaired.
Abstract: Wearable computers can certainly support audio-only presentation of information; a visual interface need not be present for effective user interaction. A system for wearable audio navigation (SWAN) is being developed to serve as a navigation and orientation aid for persons temporarily or permanently visually impaired. SWAN is a wearable computer consisting of audio-only output and tactile input via a handheld interface. SWAN aids a user in safe pedestrian navigation and includes the ability for the user to author new GIS data relevant to their needs of wayfinding, obstacle avoidance, and situational awareness support. Emphasis is placed on representing pertinent data with non-speech sounds through a process of sonification. SWAN relies on a geographic information system (GIS) infrastructure for supporting geocoding and spatialization of data. Furthermore, SWAN utilizes novel tracking technology.
