“…The group went on to discuss the idea of people’s eyes lighting up when they are inspired, such as: The presence of shining eyes may be an indication that someone has been inspired , and it wasn’t just fun and learning about nature after that, we all kind of had stars in our eyes for a minute. “Shining eyes” are an indication that possibilities are being awakened, according to music conductor Zander (2011). He is noted as saying “My definition of success is not wealth, fame, or power, but how many shining eyes do I have around me?” Participating interpreters suggested that observing visitors for this phenomenon may be a good indicator that inspiration has occurred, but counting the number of shining eyes in an audience may be hard to do.…”

While the idea of inspiration spans the history of the field, inspiration as a topic has been an under-studied phenomenon in the interpretation field. Thirty-three professional interpreters from 21 agencies across North America participated in dialog on the topic of inspiration in interpretation through Internet-based World Café sessions. The dialog was rich and thoughtful, and revealed that these interpreters believed that inspiration is the goal of interpretation and that the nine characteristics of inspiration identified in the literature and reviewed in our prior publication were relevant to interpretation: that inspiration is two-sided, transmissible, positive, individual, transcendent, unexpected, holistic, requires receptivity, and receptivity may be cultivated. Identified barriers to using an inspiration-based approach in interpretation included meeting the needs of agencies, and particularly the agency’s needs for quantitative measurements of attendance and impacts.

“…Assessments are likely to be anecdotal. Conductor Benjamin Zander put it aptly in his 2008 TED presentation (Zander 2008) when he defined a performance's success according to ‘how many shining eyes I have around me’.…”

Sonification is described as an under-utilised dimension of the ‘wow!’ factor in science engagement multi-media. It is suggested that sonification's potential value, like much of the scientific visualisation content, probably lies less in hard facts and more in how it may serve as a stimulant for curiosity. Sound is described as a multi-dimensional phenomenon, and a number of approaches to creating sonifications are reviewed. Design strategies are described for five types of phenomena that were sonified for works created by cosmologist George Smoot III and percussionist/ethnomusicologist Mickey Hart, most particularly for their filmRhythms of the Universe(Hart and Smoot 2013).
