Welcome to the Interactive Sonification Homepage.About ISon
Interactive Sonification is an emerging focus direction in sonification and auditory display research. More general information about sonification can be found on sonification.de, and at www.icad.org which is the main community portal for auditory display research.
Interactive Sonification acknowlegdes the importance of human interaction for understanding and using auditory feedback. Interaction allows users to continuously query different "auditory views" of objects - in the case of sonification the data under analysis - which help to give a more complete overview.
In 2004, we organized the first Interactive Sonification Workshop 2004 (ISon 2004), Bielefeld, Germany, with a very positive resonance within the European community, and we have been able to turn the proceedings into an IEEE Multimedia Special Issue on Interactive Sonification. In order to maximize value for the community we decided to organise ISon Workshops in Europe whenever ICAD is not hosted in Europe. Following this algorithm, we organized the Interactive Sonification Workshop ISon 2007 in York. The following ISon will be in 2009, and fortunately we already have interest from a potential host.

- IEEE Multimedia Special Issue Interactive Sonification April 2005 -- Call for Papers
- Interactive Sonification Workshop 2004, Bielefeld 2004, organised by Thomas Hermann and Andy Hunt was the first European Event to gather researchers with the particular focus on Interactive Sonification, the emerging and upcoming direction to study tightly closed interaction loops between humans and auditory display systems, enclosing applications, interfaces, theory, evaluation, etc.
