Demo of Spatial Audification in OpenSpace: MMS Mission

This is an audio demo; listen with headphones. The audio begins around the 0:55 mark. In Collins et al 2024, we demonstrated a spatial audification of data from NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission produced with open-source tools in Python. In that demo, however, the sound sources for each satellite are placed in a static and representative position. Here, we use OpenSpace to associate each audio stream with its respective spacecraft, so that the audification may be experienced with spatial fidelity on a flexible timescale. This proof-of-concept uses the Open Sound Control protocol to send positional data of the sound sources from OpenSpace to SuperCollider, a method also used in Elmquist et al 2024.
