# libvizaudio 0.1 # ############################################ Overview: libVizAudio is a GTK-based system that links audio events to visual events. It is primarily meant as an accessibility tool for deaf users. VizAudio takes advantage of the enhanced sound information provided by applications that use the audio framework libCanberra. For the sake of generalizability and extensibility, libVizAudio is not directly a part of libCanberra. It is a tool that operates in parallel with libCanberra to enhance the user experience. libVizAudio functions by constantly listening for libCanberra sound playing calls on the D-BUS. When a sound method call is heard, vizAudio uses the information given to libCanberra in that call to determine the relevant sound-event to play. If none is found for this audio event, Users will be given the option to assign a pre-made visual event to play whenever this audio event is played. These visual events make use of basic GTK drawing and more advanced Cairo vector graphics. Authors: Ted Nichols Rachel Foecking Ryan Gee Current Status: The current status of VizAudio is: DEVELOPMENT This build is still in testing and should not be treated as production code. Dependencies: [*] GTK+ - For basic visual effects [*] GLib - For the DBUS daemon [*] Cairo - For advanced vector graphics [*] LibCanberra - To recieve information about audio events *Note: These libraries may mandate a multitude of other dependencies. Please consult their respective reference manuals for more information. Installation: This package was created using GNOME Autotools. Thus, you should execute the following commands in a terminal to complete installation: $ ./configure $ make $ make install ($ sudo make install if necessary) Acknowledgements: Bryen Yunashko and Rohan Anil - Project mentors HFOSS Project
