392248 ISY Project: Sonification of Sports Swimming (Pj) (SoSe 2020)

Contents, comment

Sonification is the auditory representation of data to enhance their understanding. In this project we will develop an embedded sonification system for supporting sport swimmers to better perceive the hand-water interaction while swimming. Practically this project involves the development of a new body-worn sensor hard-/and software by combining already tested air pressure sensors and an Beaglebone-based embedded system platform Bela (see bela.io) which allows real-time sensor data processing and synthesis directly in SuperCollider3, a modern sound programming language which is highly suitable for sonification. We plan a water-proofed solution and to use the system as a wearable sonification system, using in-ear-phones to enable users to get interactive feedback while swimming freely in the University pool. However, tests can alternatively be done in an arm-sized mini pool.

Participants will learn – depending on individual interest – how to program sonifications, how to synthesize complex sound in real-time, howto create and program embedded systems and process real-time sensor data. It provides an opportunity to design interactive feedback in an application-driven research process in an interdiscipinary context between computer science (ambient intelligence) and sports psychology.
In case this would not find enough interest for a team project, this project proposal would be also offered (in reduced/modified form)
[ x ] as individual project
[ x ] as project for 2-3 students

Requirements for participation, required level

- basic skills in sensor systems
- introduction to sound synthesis (nice to have)
