As part of my WISE (Women In Science and Engineering) program at Stony Brook University, I researched about data sonification and its possible impact in improving accessibility, especially in Education.

Abstract

Data sonification is the technique of presenting data through non speech audio. Several research indicates positive effects of data sonification and its ability to convey information clearly. This paper is a research literature review which serves to explore various case studies of data sonification that can have a corollary in the education space. The target audience will focus on visually impaired people and how data sonification can improve accessibility in different learning environments. Data sonification can also work as a support with other existing systems or technologies, such as haptic devices and virtual reality sets, to further immerse users in their ability to retain information.
