Project IRENE Using optical scanning to digitize ethnographic field recordings on wax cylinders

Producing Audio Step 1: Loading and Displaying Data

Description:
The first step of creating sound from an optical scan is loading in and displaying the data taken during scans. A piece of software loads that data in and generates the images shown here. The images are three dimensional, depth images where grey-scale values correspond to the height of the surface. The software allows the user to look at the data point by point (bottom left) in detail (right ) and all at once (top left).
