....for military aircraft pilots in target localization. Another feasible area for the use of spatial audio is scientific visualization. Some research has already been done in this area, primarily on the subject of mapping certain attributes of high dimensional data to specific acoustic features. In [SBG90], for instance, several auditory data representation techniques are described, including the generation of stereophonic sound with apparent depth and sound that appears to emanate from a two dimensional area. And in [WPFF90] an acoustic display system for visualization purposes is presented that ....

....is lacking. This becomes even more important when exploring spatially defined data. Sound is inherently a temporal medium, and its benefits depend crucially on changes over time [7] So how do we map from space to time A few solutions have been suggested, such as sonic probes controlled by mouse [8], virtual microphones [9] and control paths [10] Insofar these approaches set up a model for the mapping process, it is based on music or audio metaphors. This is not necessarily appropriate for the average user the seismic interpreter or the ultrasound data analyst. In this paper we present a ....

Faces have shown to be powerful glyphs for small data sets [Chernoff 73] glyphs for larger data sets are suggested by [Picket Grinstein 88] and [Beddow 90] Looking beyond visualization, one can also use senses other than our visual sense to express data values. Smith et al. [Smith et al. 90] and Scaletti and Craig [Scaletti Craig 91] use sound as an additional visual cue. 7.3 Line graphs Line graphs are used to display continuous information and are therefore an effective visual representation of scalar data sets of form D S 1 and of form D mS 1 . For D mS 1 , m lines ....

In contrary to pixel graphics, though, some progress can be observed to represent vector graphics (lines) as tactile maps [16] In a few projects attempts were made to transform graphics into auditory output [20] or to describe pictures for the blind [11] but there still exist no practical solutions to represent any pixel graphics via auditory display. So far there are only few known solutions for the layout barrier caused by the use of layout features for semantic purposes. A word printed in different ....

....advantage of new and old insights into human perception and improve the presentation of multi dimensional data to humans. In this review, I identify two broad sub areas of the visualization research endeavor: the use of iconographic displays to explore multi dimensional data [Fli90, FC90, JLSU87, SBG90, GPW89, PG88, CM84] and the use of graphs to represent multi dimensional relational data [Mac86a, Mac86b, RM90, BP90] The concerns of these camps are quite different, but their respective explorations have brought them into close contact, since both have recognized the importance of the human ....

....concert goer gets from the visual channel. The marvellous visualization tool that is the orchestra 9 is suggestive of some of the extant approaches to data visualization. The critical requirement of an effective data display is that it stimulate spontaneous perceptions of structure in data. SBG90] The preceding remark obviously applies to all display applications, from word processing to medical imaging. It certainly motivates some of the work in automatic graph layout and presentation, where salient dimensions of relational data are mapped to appropriate graphical techniques. In that ....

....displays can be used in conjunction with graphical displays to help the user gain a better sense of network activity than can be achieved through purely visual virtual worlds. Information might be redundantly encoded in graphics and sound or different information may be presented in each medium [17]. We have recently acquired a sound processing system that allows sound sources to be positioned in 3D relative to the user [18] and will be incorporating this into our system. Such spatially localized sound could help direct the user s attention to relevant parts of the virtual world. For ....

....color, shape and motion of elements lead to preattentive discrimination, and it is variation in these dimensions that we must seek to bring under data control in our texture displays. Some early implementations have been described in the literature. The Exploratory Visualization (Exvis) project [185], for instance: is a multi disciplinary effort to develop new paradigms for the exploration of data with very high dimensionality. The fundamental philosophy behind Exvis is that data representation tools shouldbe driven by the perceptual powers of the human. In addition, the interpretation of ....

This has prompted the development of interactive clustering algorithms that combine the computer s computational powers with a human s knowledge and visual skills [Smith et al. 1990]. 3.5.3.

There are two broad types of intentional descriptions: characteristic ....

His subjects were able to correctly classify 90 percent of the samples. With training, their accuracy reached 98 percent [Yeung, 1980] Frysinger, 1990] [Smith et al. 1990]. 4.1.4 Bly: Classifying Multidimensional Data In 1982, Sara Bly at the University of California at Davis tested subjects ability to classify a data point as belonging to one of two six dimensional data sets.

.... positive answer to these questions [11, 12, 13] Nonspeech audio can serve as an indicator of event occurrence [14] as a guide to object proximity [15] and (in analogy to the Geiger counter) as an indication of the density of values in a specified range during navigation through a representation [16]. It has been shown [17] that, for certain types of information, the auditory modality works just as well as the visual modality (e.g. for visual search tasks where speed is not crucial) Papp has recently explored the use of nonspeech audio as an alternative to graphics for conveying information ....

....from a presentation combining sound and graphics. In summary, Bly s experiments showed that sound was at least as useful as traditional graphical techniques in categorizing data samples. 1 See x1.3 for a review of sound characteristics. This mapping technique was later used by Smith et al. [22] and Rabenhorst et al. [17] in concert with visual data exploration environments. Smith et al. incorporate the ideas of basic data mapping with an iconographic display where each data sample is represented by an icon on the screen. Each sample may be mapped to sound attributes, including stereo ....

The research in mdmv visualization has also been diversified into multidisciplinary collaborations. Attempts to combine sound with graphics [SPW92, SBG92] are currently being made. The concept of a rule based queue [BF92, BF93] was also introduced. One of the latest research issues of mdmv visualization is the need to evaluate the correctness, effectiveness, and usefulness of mdmv visualization techniques. Similar concerns also appear in the other ....
