Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices for synchronizing sound with light to produce a starter sound for reducing a listener's perceived gap between reception of an action image produced by an action at a distance from a listener and an action sound produced by the action. In an embodiment, a method includes predicting when a distant action will occur to produce a predicted action time. The method also includes generating a starter sound from a sound generation location near the listener. The starter sound is generated according to the predicted action time and according to the distant action. The starter sound is generated at a time such that the starter sound arrives at a listener's location at or after the action image arrives at the listener's location and prior to arrival of the action sound produced by the action.
