“…User centered and task-based design methods were found to be effective for creating a meaningful sonification [7,8]. The narrative worked based on mimicking realistic, familiar environmental sounds to create strong associative ties to make it easier to understand what a user is listening to [10,11,12].…”

This study investigates the design and evaluation of a sonification designed to detect any planets orbiting within an asteroid belt of an exosolar system. The interface was designed for an astronomer who studies this phenomenon. User centered design methods were applied to create an accurate sonification of the data that could allow the astronomer to perceive possible planetary movements within an asteroid belt. The sonification was developed over three stages: A requirements gathering exercise inquiring about the data that the astronomer uses in her work. A design and development stage based on the findings of the requirements gathering and the third stage, an evaluation of the sonification design. The sonification effectively allowed the astronomer to immediately detect a planet orbiting within an asteroid belt. Multiple parameter mappings provide richer auditory stimuli that are more semantical to the user. The use of more familiar, natural sounding sound design led to a clearer comprehension of the dataset. The use of spatial mapping and movement allowed for immediate identification and understanding of the planet's course through the asteroid belt.

“…To convey these complex concepts clearly to an astronomer usercentered and task-based design methods could help create a successful sonification design [7,8]. These methods can help a designer to attain users' concepts in relation to data and understand the meaning and social significance an object or event may convey [9].…”

“…Sonic Information Design is a user-centred method that requires consideration of issues such as the type of data, user task, information requirements, and audio display 59 . A designerly approach to sonification that includes stages of ideation, rapid prototyping and evaluation has been developed further 60 . The Data Sonification Canvas provides a design-oriented approach that includes consideration of Users, Goals, Context, Functionality, Ways of Listening and Type of Sound 61,2 .…”

Sound experts’ perspectives on astronomy sonification projects

et al. 2022

The Audible Universe project aims at making dialogue between two scientific domains investigating two distinct research objects, briefly said, Stars and Sound. It has been instantiated within a collaborative workshop that started to mutually acculturate both communities, by sharing and transmitting respective knowledge, skills and practices. One main outcome of this exchange was a global view on the astronomical data sonification paradigm that allowed to observe either the diversity of tools, uses and users (including visually-impaired people), but also the current limitations and potential ways of improvement. From this perspective, the current paper presents basic elements gathered and contextualised by sound experts in their respective fields (sound perception / cognition, sound design, psychoacoustics, experimental psychology), in order to anchor sonification for astronomy in a more well-informed, methodological and creative process.

“…Data is also the main topic for Lenzi et al's paper, as their aim is to define design guidelines to create "sonifications that are both efficient and engaging" and "the transition of sonification into a mass medium for the representation of data" [6]. They explore the use of sound for real-time monitoring of anomalous behavior in digital and digital/physical systems, specifically for the sonification of data from a medium-sized water plant and from a medium-sized Internet network.…”
