Introduction to the problem Sonification is the use of non-speech audio to convey information more specifically sonification is the transformation of data relations into perceived relations in an acoustic signal for the purposes of facilitating communication or interpretation [1] p 03_23 27. 02. 03 Sonification of the facial expressions
Introduction to the problem The main question for sonification of the facial expression is: How to convey the emotional expressions/facial features/ of some person presented like any visual imaging into the sounds (e. g. earcons, music chords) or whatever ? p 04_23 27. 02. 03 Sonification of the facial expressions
Introduction to the problem The sonification system for facial expressions should allow the transformation of the visual information (attributes specifically describing emotional expression/state) into sound patterns This kind of sounds (“e. ARmoticons”) should evoke similar emotional feelings of the listener that is, to provide an emotional access through “audio snapshot” when visual perception is blocked or imaging is hidden for observer p 05_23 27. 02. 03 Sonification of the facial expressions
Background & Related Research Some facial expressions can hardly be transformed by sound (e. g. , congenital or non-classified features) Blind people have a wide experience with real environmental sounds, while the congenital blinded can have not any association to visual facial imaging; only tactile memory of some facial features can be insufficient or non-adequate p 06_23 27. 02. 03 Sonification of the facial expressions
Background & Related Research There is not signs’ system/auditory or tactile/specifically & briefly describing facial features/expressions. Only some general emotional states are presented like artificial set of static visual/tactile symbols [2, 11]. Happiness Sadness : ( : ) p 07_23 27. 02. 03 Frustration Madness : / >: -( Sonification of the facial expressions
Background & Related Research There have been a lot of approaches to data sonification of like math functions, simple graphics, diagrams, … The v. OICe Java Applet http: //www. visualprosthesis. com/javoice. htm p 08_23 27. 02. 03 Sonification of the facial expressions
Background & Related Research Relevantly, there a lot of earcons used in MS Windows and other software, sound signaling for special equipment and application… sound p 09_23 sound 27. 02. 03 sound Sonification of the facial expressions
Objectives The goal of this project is designing and usability investigation of the sonification system for attributes specifically describing facial expression to provide an emotional access through e. ARmoticons when visual perception is blocked or imaging is hidden for observer p 10_23 27. 02. 03 Sonification of the facial expressions
Schedule Project’s activity Weeks Expected results Overview on the topic Definition of the interaction scenarios & research methods 1 Sonification & visual attributes Scenarios Design of software prototype Design & collection of sound files 1 Software prototype Sound database Classification of the facial expressions by sound Revision of software 1 Sonification System for facial attributes Revised software Usability exploration of the new interaction techniques 2 Data analysis Report writing 1 2 Project paper p 11_23 27. 02. 03 Sonification of the facial expressions
Research Methods • constructive research to design and simulate the new techniques, software tools and doing usability evaluation of novel sound objects – e. ARmoticons • empirical research is based on crossmodal information transfer and perception of intermodal events p 12_23 27. 02. 03 Sonification of the facial expressions
Preliminary Modelling Facial expression Recognition of the sound patterns to facial expression (image, picture, video, etc) Video processing Facial landmarks Facial expression-to-sound mapping transformation system sounds As a whole Sound Database p 13_23 27. 02. 03 Sonification of the facial expressions
Resources & Experimental Setup • Subjects (people with normal vision) • Stimuli – e. ARmoticons – earcons specifically & briefly describing facial features/expressions FACS – Facial Action Coding System [ 7, 8] a prototype of the sonification system for facial expression transformation p 14_23 27. 02. 03 Sonification of the facial expressions
