Abstract

This paper describes research into the sonification of large-scale landscape imagery. Techniques for image sonification are coupled with users' physical navigation of the image data and a visual representation of the correspondence between the image and sound. One application of this research, an interactive art installation titled Sonic Panoramas, is discussed. Through the use of vision-based motion tracking, immersive projection, image analysis and real-time spatialized sound, a multi-modal representation of landscape image data is deployed.
