data representation techniques to include senses beyond the
visual. Yet, little is known of how people interpret and make
sense of haptic and sonic compared to visual representations.
In this paper we present the results of two phenomenologically
oriented comparative studies (applying the Repertory Grid and
Micro-phenomenological interview technique) that we conducted
to gather in-depth accounts of people’s interpretation
and experience of three different representational modalities:
auditory, haptic and visual. Our findings show a rich characterization
of the different representational modalities suggesting
that visual representations engage through their familiarity,
accuracy and easy interpretation, while auditory and haptic
modalities are experienced as more ambiguous, yet stimulate
an engaging interpretation of data that involves the whole body.
We describe and discuss in detail participants’ processes of
making sense and generating meaning using the modalities’
unique characteristics, individually and as a group.
