Multimodal script for tools used on a course

This development is powered by CONICET-Argentina, Universidad de Mendoza-Argentina and Universidad Tecnológica Nacional - Facultad Regional Mendoza.

Description

This repository hosts the scripts used for data sonification using the sonoUno libraries and tactile models generation using pybrl and Farjo et al (2024) development. It includes a set of scripts that allow scientific data to be transformed into accessible sound and visual representations using labels in braille.

Main Features

1. Sonification with Noise:

• The sound_noise.py script enables the sonification of tabulated data in two columns, with the option to introduce controlled noise adjusted to a specific signal-to-noise ratio.

2. Sonification of Star Spectra:

• The starts.py script is designed for the sonification of star spectra, facilitating the analysis and multisensory representation of this type of scientific data.

3. Sonification of Light Curves:

• The lightcurve.py script allows the sonification of light curves downloaded from the ASAS-SN database.

4. Tactile models

• Each script includes the integration of the pybrl library to modify the labels of matplotlib graph. Pybrl is used to translate graph texts into Braille, ensuring the accessibility of generated images that can be printed in 3D models.
