T-61.271 Visualization project description
1. Sonification of time series

Autumn 2003

Read the project description carefully. Questions and comments can be sent to
t61271@mail.cis.hut.fi.

General information

The purpose of the project work is to get hands on experience and deeper understanding on one specific area of the course. At the same time you will be forced to think on some of the more general issues that are confronted every time a visualization method is developed or used.

To complete the project you will probably need information that has not been discussed on the lectures or in the exercises. Most of the time relevant information can be easily found on the web, course books or in some cases references to articles will be given. If you have problems finding information on the subject please contact the lecturer or the assistant for hints and guidance.

The project work will be valid for one year after the original deadline.

General requirements

specific requirements

The goal of this project is to create a tool to visualize and sonificate time series data

The tool should have the following features

  1. It should read the time series specification from a file.

  2. It should visualize the time series in a suitable manner.

  3. It should use a audio signal to code the time series values.

  4. It should allow the repeated play of the time series for listening.

  5. It should have an animated indicator telling which point in the time series is being sonificated.

The report should discus the effectivity of the visualization, sonification and their combination to find interesting features of the time series.
