2010 14th International Conference Information Visualisation
Associating Avatars with Musical Genres
London, United Kingdom
July 26-July 29
ISBN: 978-0-7695-4165-5
Accessing personal and online music libraries with thousands of songs has become an everyday activity. Instead of textual lists, the libraries can also be accessed using graphical visualizations such as adaptive avatars. To develop the idea further, we designed 17 stereotypical avatars representing different musical genres. To study how well the avatars were recognized, an online questionnaire with 71 participants was arranged. This paper discusses the design of the avatars in more detail, explains which musical genres were selected for the study and why, and presents the results of the questionnaire.
Index Terms:
avatar, musical genre, visualization, playlist, questionnaire
