Abstract :
We describe a method to improve user feedback, specifically the display of time-varying probabilistic information, through asynchronous granular synthesis. We have applied these techniques to challenging control problems as well as to the sonification of online probabilistic gesture recognition. We´re using these displays in mobile, gestural interfaces where visual display is often impractical.
