Visualization of sound data extending functionality of applications/services including gaming applications/services

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to processing operations configured to execute a sound visualization application/service that dynamically generates graphical sound indication providing a visualization of sound for content being presented. A visualization of sound data may be generated and rendered from analysis of sound data, occurring in a manner that is independent from the application/service that is being used to present the content. The sound visualization application/service may be implemented as an independent application/service or plugin that works universally to provide graphical sound visualization regardless of whether content was developed to support graphical sound visualization. For example, a sound visualization application/service is implemented that generates and renders sound indication graphically without requiring access to code of displayed content. Rendered sound visualization may be presented concurrently with displayed content. This differentiates from traditional technical examples that may code accessibility features directly into the content itself, thereby overcoming limitations in previous implementation examples.
