The Sound of Fruits and Vegetables: Scientific Visualization with Auditory Tokens
Gary S. Kendall, Lonny L. Chu · 1995
ABSTRACT: Fruits and vegetables provide a sound world with which every human being has some familiarity. That is why the sound of fruits and vegetables being struck, broken, torn, and smashed provides an ecologically valid basis for an auditory token library to be used in scientific visualization. Introduction. Scientific visualization is a catch word for a variety of techniques being developed to help scientists represent and conceptualize complex phenomena by means of advanced computing. The techniques that have received the most attention center around visual perception with three-dimensional computer graphics, although increasing attention is being given to the potential role of auditory perception with three-dimensional sound.
