RESUMO

Visualization is a generic process that uses visual and interactive representations to easy the analysis and the understanding of complex datasets. To this date, most of the visualization toolkits make use almost exclusively of visual aid to represent information, which has limited the capacity for data presentation and exploration. Many studies have shown that sound as an alternative data display tool (sonification) can be useful to support information interpretation and may also add dimensions to a visual display. Sonification is the object of study of this work. This work implements the new sonification module for a recently developed visual exploration system, the Super Spider (Watanabe, 2007). It has been extended with the implementation of functionalities in order to support data exploration through sounds. A new system, called Sonar 2D, was also developed and integrated to Super Spider, including a new technique of data sonification. In addition, this work presents results user evaluation for validation of some of the visual and sound mappings employed in both systems
