    abstract = {Sonification of human movement offers a wide range of new kinds of
                    information for supporting motor learning in sports and
                    rehabilitation. Even though motor learning is dominated visually,
                    auditory perception offers unique subtle temporal resolution as
                    well as enormous integrative capacity -- both are important
                    features on perception of human movement patterns. But how to
                    address the auditory system adequately? A Sonification based on
                    kinematic movement data can mediate structural features of
                    movement via the auditory system, like polyrhythms of movement
                    etc. And Sonification of dynamic movement data makes muscle forces
                    audible approximately. Here a flexible framework for the
                    sonification of human movement data is presented, capable of
                    processing standard kinematic motion capture data as well as
                    derived quantities such as force data. Force data are computed by
                    inverse dynamics algorithms and can be used as input parameters
                    for real time sonification. Simultaneous visualization is provided
                    using OpenGL.},
