Star Interpolator β A Novel Visualization Paradigm for Graphical Interpolators
This paper presents a new visualization paradigm for graphical
interpolation systems, known as Star Interpolation, that has been
specifically created for sound design applications. Through the
presented investigation of previous visualizations, it becomes apparent
that the existing visuals in this class of system, generally relate to the
interpolation model that determines the weightings of the presets and
not the sonic output. The Star Interpolator looks to resolve this
deficiency by providing visual cues that relate to the parameter space.
Through comparative exploration it has been found this visualization
provides a number of benefits over the previous systems. It is also
shown that hybrid visualizations can be generated that combine the
benefits of the new visualization with the existing interpolation
models. These can then be accessed by using an Interactive
Visualization (IV) approach. The results fromour exploration of these
visualizations are encouraging and they appear to be advantageous
when using the interpolators for sound designs tasks
