Abstract

An embodiment combines the concepts of image enhancement and voice-sound command and control to enhance the experience of viewing images by tracking where the viewer is indicating with his/her voice. The result is to make the viewing experience more like viewing the original scene, or to enhance the viewing experience in new ways beyond the original experience, either automatically, or by interacting with a photographer's previously specified intentions for what should happen when the viewer identifies, with his/her voice sounds, including, but not limited to, words, voice tone, voice inflection, voice pitch, or voice loudness, a particular portion of an image or images taken by that photographer.
