DoppelLab : spatialized data sonification in a 3D virtual environment

This thesis explores new ways to communicate sensor data by combining spatialized sonification with data visualiation in a 3D virtual environment. A system for sonifying a space using spatialized recorded audio streams is designed, implemented, and integrated into an existing 3D graphical interface. Exploration of both real-time and archived data is enabled. In particular, algorithms for obfuscating audio to protect privacy, and for time-compressing audio to allow for exploration on diverse time scales are implemented. Synthesized data sonification in this context is also explored.
