AUDITORY GRAPHS: A SUMMARY OF CURRENT EXPERIENCE AND TOWARD S A RESEARCH AGENDA
Tony Stockman, Louise Valger, Greg Hind · 2005
In this paper we shall briefly review previous work we have found directly relevant to our own research on the use of auditory graphs. We will then summarise previous unpublished experiences of us-ing auditory graphs in the domain of medical signal analysis, and further recent work on the use of auditory graphs for analysing spreadsheet data. We conclude by outlining issues we believe to be relevant in the formation of a research agenda for the design and evaluation of the technology. 1. PREVIOUS WORK Mansur devised a method for line graph sonification called Sound Graphs where the y-axis of the graph is mapped to pitch and the x-axis to time. Movement along the x-axis in time causes notes of different pitches to be played, where the frequency of each note is determined by the y value of the graph at that time. Mansur
