Abstract

Design for effective information engagement through interactive sonification and visualization can be divided into two parts: (1) interface and interaction - designing the method of manipulating, investigating and interrogating information representations; and (2) information design - designing the representation, interactivity and user-customizability of the data content. The user experience is affected by the responsiveness and intelligence (awareness, contextual knowledge, situated interactivity) of the representation design. The purpose of information visualization and sonification is to transform data into information, that is, to enable users to find meaningfulness in the data. Integral to the success of computational technologies in design is an understanding of designing around the human user, the user experience, ergonomics, aesthetics, usability, and attractive, engaging, “sticky” modes of interactivity.
