Results of Preliminary Studies on the Perception of the Relationships between Objects Presented in a Cartesian Space
Visualizations often use the paradigm of a Cartesian space for the presentation of objects and information.

| description | Visualizations often use the paradigm of a Cartesian space for the presentation of objects and information. Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a visual language used to describe relationships in processes and systems and is heavily used in computer science and software engineering. Visualizations are a powerful development tool, but are not necessarily accessible to all users, as individuals may differ in their level of visual ability or perceptual biases. Sonfication methods can be used to supplement or, in some cases, replace visual models. This paper describes two studies created to determine the ability of users to perceive relationships between objects in a Cartesian space when presented in a sonified form. Results from this study will be used to guide the creation of sonified UML software. |
