3 Contents Introduction to the problem Background & related research Objectives Methods Resources & experimental setup Preliminary results Prospectives p 02_23 27.02.03 Sonification of the facial expressions

4 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

5 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 ? Introduction to the problem p 04_23 27.02.03 Sonification of the facial expressions

6 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 (“eARmoticons”) 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 Introduction to the problem

7 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

8 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]. p 07_23 27.02.03 Sonification of the facial expressions Background & Related Research Happiness : ) Sadness : ( Frustration : />:-( Madness

9 There have been a lot of approaches to data sonification of like math functions, simple graphics, diagrams, … p 08_23 27.02.03 Sonification of the facial expressions http://www.visualprosthesis.com/javoice.htm The vOICe Java Applet Background & Related Research

10 p 09_23 27.02.03 Sonification of the facial expressions Relevantly, there are a lot of earcons used in MS Windows and other software, sound signaling for special equipment and application… sound Background & Related Research

11 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 eARmoticons when visual perception is blocked or imaging is hidden for observer p 10_23 27.02.03 Sonification of the facial expressions

12 Schedule Project’s activityWeeksExpected 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 2Data Data analysis Report writing 1212 Project paper p 11_23 27.02.03 Sonification of the facial expressions

13 Research Methods constructive research to design and simulate the new techniques, software tools and doing usability evaluation of novel sound objects – eARmoticons empirical research is based on crossmodal information transfer and perception of intermodal events p 12_23 27.02.03 Sonification of the facial expressions

14 Preliminary Modelling p 13_23 27.02.03 Sonification of the facial expressions Facial expression (image, picture, video, etc) sounds Video processing Facial expression-to-sound mapping transformation system Recognition of the sound patterns to facial expression As a whole Facial landmarks Sound Database

15 Resources & Experimental Setup p 14_23 27.02.03 Sonification of the facial expressions Subjects (people with normal vision) Stimuli – eARmoticons – earcons specifically & briefly describing facial features/expressions FACS – Facial Action Coding System [ 7, 8] a prototype of the sonification system for facial expression transformation

16 Resources & Experimental Setup p 15_23 27.02.03 Sonification of the facial expressions Experimental procedure

17 Resources & Experimental Setup p 16_23 27.02.03 Sonification of the facial expressions Data analysis: reaction time accuracy = error number
