Description
Sound Visualization consists of providing graphical representations to accompany occurring sounds. There are some reasons for this to be interesting:
- Emphasizing some aspect of the sound, by providing a cross-modal reinforcement of the perception.
- Enabling the game to be played and enjoyed without sound. This is relevant in several circumstances:
- for playing in noisy environments (e.g., using mobile platforms).
- for playing in places where the context obliges that the sound is mute or very low volume.
- for hard-of-hearing or deaf players[1].
- In the particular case of Dialogue: overcome language comprehension difficulties by reading subtitles, possibly in another language, as explored in Subtitles and Captions.
Most typical solutions adopted in games are (common too other media):
- Diegetic approaches:
- Drawing sound waves, which allows to locate the source, and possibly the reach and the receptors of that sound, but does not allow to know the sound itself.
- Drawing an onomatopoeia, possibly next to the source of the sound, which allows to learn what sound it is, and possibly the source.
- Non-Diegetic approach:
- as explored in Subtitles and Captions: Inscribe a descriptor of the occurring sounds as closed captions, possibly embedded in subtitles, which allows a verbose description of the several aspects of the sound.
