HEARING IMAGES: INTERACTIVE SONIFICATION INTERFACE FOR IMAGES

Abstract

The paper describes an ongoing research for a method of interactive sonification of 2D image data. The method utilizes an existing device (from computer games console), Nintendo’s wiimote controller [11] to provide a means of interacting with the image to aid exploration, providing the user with sonic and haptic feedback. This paper presents a method for segmentation and analysis of regions within an image to produce global and local descriptors of the specified region.
