Περιγραφή

AudioInsight is a web application for the audiovisual exploration of sound datasets in musical acoustics. It features an interactive and dynamically responsive user interface that provides tools for dataset exploration, statistical analysis, and visualization of parameter distributions and relevant correlations.

Moreover, AudioInsight enables the creation of dataset clusters and the exploration of sounds through interactive navigation within their two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) graphical representations.

Sound Examples

At the following link, users can listen to the sound produced by a vibrating membrane, depending on its structural characteristics and the point of excitation.
