“The experience of watching tv without a screen” 



AudiVisum by Samuel Phelps



“Preserve the fantasy”



Have you ever watched a tv show that was so exciting you wished you were in the story? Have you ever read a book and met a character that you wished you could meet in real life? AudiVisum is a new media format that can do both! AudiVisum creates a tailored media experience dedicated to the enjoyment and engagement of the listener, harnessing film-quality sound effects and audio engineering to create a vividly surreal environment. It propels the listener into the action, directing their imagination and immersing the traveler in the fantasy.

 



Take a journey to another time and place. Follow in the footsteps of heroes from legend and lore! Recall the wildest tales you have ever heard as though you lived in the very moment. Choose your adventure no matter where you may be.

A new media experience! AudiVisum is a revolutionary take on the audio description (AD) genre. AudiVisum goes beyond narration, utilising the voice skills of real actors and the audio quality of film production. It’s a level of immersive audio like never before, more film than audiobook. Don’t believe us? Try it for yourself now

Think Pirates of the Caribbean: an anchored ship sits creaking on the gently undulating ocean, dully lit by the pale moonlight almost entirely drowned out by the heavy fog. The ship lies unlit in the foreboding cove and jagged cliffs of the Isla de Muerta. The creaking of its wooden hull, coarse ropes, and heavy pullies is overlapped by the subtle splash of water against the bow and the tide lapping at the rocks in the distance. An occasional breeze rustles the rigging and thick canvas sails, slick with sea salt and dirt.

You were there just now, weren’t you? The recall of the sounds, overlapped with the description of the ship, putting you right there in the moment. No film can put you in the moment like that, no book can let you hear the sounds. AudiVisum lets you do both! See every scene in your mind, hear every voice and experience an audio environment so real, so visceral, so palpable you will swear you were there. AudiVisum - Preserve the fantasy. Try it now.
