Graphically Hearing: Enhancing Understanding of Geospatial Data through an Integrated Auditory and Visual Experience.

Effective presentation of data is critical to a users understanding of it. In this manuscript, we explore research challenges associated with presenting large geospatial datasets through a multimodal experience. We also suggest an interaction schema that enhances users cognition of geographic information through a user-driven display that visualizes and sonifies geospatial data.
