Congratulations! You've just finished Sonifying Your Data.
Data collection is both an art and a science. By following a systematic approach, as demonstrated by our example study, you can gather rich, meaningful data for your projects. Whether you're looking to sonify this data or use it for other research purposes, the steps remain largely similar.
Continued learning and exploration in the field of data sonification can be both exciting and rewarding. Consider joining online platforms like the International Community for Auditory Display (ICAD) or participating in workshops and webinars focused on data sonification. These communities offer a wealth of knowledge and networking opportunities for both beginners and experienced practitioners in the field.
Here are some resources, communities, forums, and groups where enthusiasts can share their work, learn from others, and stay updated with the latest developments:
- ICAD is a key forum for presenting and discussing research in auditory display, including data sonification. They host conferences and workshops regularly.
- Website: ICAD
- This website offers resources, tools, and examples of sonification projects. It's a great place to start for beginners and also for those looking to see practical applications of sonification.
