Tiltification – An Accessible App to Popularize Sonification

Tiltification is a spirit level app for Android and iOS. The Psychoacoustic Sonification informs you about the pitch angle (i.e., how far you have to tilt your smartphone to the left or to the right in order to level it). In two-dimensional mode, the Psychoacoustic Sonification also indicates the roll angle (i.e., how far you have to tilt it towards you or away from you in order to level it).

Download the App at the Google Play Store, the Apple App Store or install it from the APK on our website.

We hope that this App is useful and handy enough so that users outside the Auditory Display Community will use it. This way, they get to know Sonification and understand how informative sound can be.
