Abstract

This research will examine the problem of the fruition of the chromatic element, dominant in contemporary art, by people with visual impairments or blindness (VIB). The process of Sonification (i.e., a technique for communicating information that employs sound to describe data) will be applied in order to translate the color dynamism of the artwork into sounds, taking into account the inner rhythm of the painting. The outcome of the research will be the creation of assistive technologies that can make artworks fully accessible by ensuring a simultaneous overview through word-sound-touch juxtaposition, with the aim of offering a total multimodal and multisensory experience of the artwork.

Exploration of Sonification Feedback for People with Visual Impairment to Use Ski Simulator
AHs '23: Proceedings of the Augmented Humans International Conference 2023

Training opportunities for visually impaired (VI) skiers are limited because it is essential for them to have sighted people who guide them with their voices. This study investigates an auditory feedback system that enables ski training using a ski ...
Aesthetic strategies in sonification

Sound can be listened to in various ways and with different intentions. Multiple factors influence how and what we perceive when listening to sound. Sonification, the acoustic representation of data, is in essence just sound. It functions as ...
A multi-sensory interactive reading experience for visually impaired children; a user evaluation
Abstract
The children’s experience of reading is enhanced by visual displays, and through picture book experiences, young children expose themselves to develop socially, personally, intellectually, and culturally. While a sighted person’s mental imagining ...
