Histogram sonification: Add a short delay to convey gaps in the data #174

Closed matthew-blackman closed 6 months ago

matthew-blackman commented 6 months ago

During the 2/23 sound design meeting, @emily-phet @Ashton-Morris and I discussed ways to improve the histogram sonification in https://github.com/phetsims/projectile-data-lab/issues/163. One avenue for further improvement is to add a short delay for the gaps in the data. This should not cause long pauses in the sonification, and be as proportional to the gap as possible without exceeding about 0.5 seconds. We also want to keep the existing visualization for the histogram as much as possible, and do not want to add a "sweeping" effect that would lock us in to a uniform time step for the data sonification.

This has been reviewed by @catherinecarter and @samreid and the design and code are looking good. Closing, @catherinecarter feel free to listen to the gaps and reopen if you feel otherwise.
