Description
Part of the recent GPII work on the Nexus demos has involved creating sonifications for real-time sensor readings, along with visualizations using the chart authoring library. The GPII JIRA is at https://issues.gpii.net/browse/GPII-2190 (sonification) / https://issues.gpii.net/browse/GPII-2189 (visualization)
When time permits, we should see about bringing these scaling-based sonifications into the chart authoring for purposes of sonifying the line charts. Abstractly speaking, there is not a substantial difference between sonifying a streaming data set of values over time and sonifying a "historical" data set of values over time - both can be handled through Flocking's model-based synths.
Longer-term, our sonification work should form a separate library from both chart authoring and the Nexus demos that can be used as a dependency by both, and by any other code that has "convert some data into sound" as a need. This will obviously require some refactoring, but I'm leaving the note here as a reminder not to lose sight of this when starting this work.
