DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Bernadette Fulgencio (University of the Philippines 
 Diliman)\, Prince Abraham Gacusan (Institutional Shareholder Services Phil
 ippines Inc.)\nOver the years\, digital sky surveys have produced extensiv
 e archives of astronomical images that are freely available to the public.
  However\, astronomy remains heavily reliant on visual representations\, l
 imiting the participation of blind and low-vision individuals in citizen s
 cience and reducing opportunities to explore astronomical data through non
 visual means. To address this gap\, the Balik Balatik initiative developed
  a web-based interactive sonification platform called "Pasipo" that transl
 ates two-dimensional astronomical images into sound\, expanding the range 
 of accessible astronomy resources available in the Philippines. The platfo
 rm converts spatial and color information into real-time audio using JavaS
 cript and the Tone.js Web Audio framework\, allowing users to interactivel
 y explore astronomical images through auditory cues. We use astronomical i
 mages captured by the Las Cumbres Observatory as demonstration datasets. B
 y providing an accessible alternative to visual image analysis\, our platf
 orm demonstrates the potential of sonification as an accessible tool for a
 stronomy education\, public outreach\, and citizen science.\n\nhttps://ind
