Using Visual Sound Effects
Sound effects are often used to communicate important information in movies, television shows and video games. There are times when playing sound can be inappropriate, sound may not be heard and can become tiring. Therefore, a visual alternative to sound which can relay the same information would be beneficial to many people in many markets.
With the invention of this technology using visual sound effects it allows for the symbolic representation of sound effects in closed captioning and in video games by indicating the direction, sound type and proximity of the sound effects. This is very helpful for directional visual sound representation for the hearing impaired or in a situation where audio sound is undesirable as it eliminates or reduce the lag time in closed captioning of movies and television shows.
