Summary
This paper presents a new application for auditory display, the use of sound to assist the analysis of tactics and tactical training in sports games. For a pilot study we have set up a system for the video recording and processing (i.e. tracking of the players and the ball) of tactical training cycles in handball. An auditory display was designed to meet the requirements for supporting and extending visual analysis of tactics, e.g. it allows to identify those players that deviate from a nominal tactical position, and it allows to value the degree of deviation. Sound examples for tactically correct and deviating group behavior in game situations are provided and discussed for the example of the 6:0-defense. We also discuss our intended psychophysical experiment for the validation of the method. For technical reasons, the display is not yet applicable in real-time but we aim towards an online interactive player feedback for tactical training.- AL (6) outer left (wav, 50k)

Sonification of Group Behavior for Analysis and Training of Sports Tactics
Sound Example: Sonification for a 6:0-defense in handball
The sonifications are computed in real-time mode with csound. visualization and sonification are synchronized, an example defense situation is shown in the following screenshot.Each defense player is represented in the current design by an own percussive instruments. Here are the samples for the defense players, from left to right:
The next two videos show a defense with some errors (particularly of MR). The deviation from the nominal behavior gets well audible.
