Paper Abstract:
|
This paper presents a contextual inquiry of climate scientists during data analysis tasks. Eighteen scientists volunteered for requirements-gathering interviews and focus groups. The interviews have been analyzed in order to determine the implications for a complementary audio interface based on sonification. Results showed that climate scientists depend heavily on visualizations, and the amount and complexity of data to be displayed are huge. Climate metaphors were assessed to help developing an intuitive sound design of the interface. The outline and basic properties of the audio tool could be determined. |
