Data sonification
Data sonification is the presentation of data as sound using
data visualization
.
The usual process for data sonification is directing digital media of a dataset through a software synthesizer and into a digital-to-analog converter to produce sound for humans to experience.[1]
Applications of data sonification include astronomy studies of star creation,[2] interpreting cluster analysis,[3] and geoscience.[4]
Various projects describe the production of sonifications as a collaboration between scientists and musicians.[5]
A target demographic for using data sonification is the blind community because of the inaccessibility of data visualizations.[6]
