Turning big data into sound
Get the Full StoryA collaboration between two professors one of music and one of engineering at Virginia Tech resulted in the creation of a new platform for data analysis that makes it possible to understand data better by turning it into sound. This is a pioneering approach to studying spatially distributed data. Instead of placing information into a visual context to show patterns or correlations meaning, data visualization the work will use an aural environment to leverage the natural affordances of the space and the user s location within the sound field. Funded by the National Science Foundation, the work… This story continues at The Next WebShare:
