Abstract: A system and method for providing acoustic output is disclosed, the system comprising a communication device, a processor coupled to the communication device, and a memory coupled to the processor. The processor receives multimedia data associated with a multimedia output stream, extracts audio data based on the multimedia data, and generates a rhythmic data set including time-series acoustic characteristic data based on the extracted audio data. A sequence of visual elements is generated based on the time-series acoustic characteristic data and associated with the respective visual elements in the sequence of visual elements with the multimedia data. The multimedia data for visually displaying the acoustic characteristic data concurrently with the multimedia stream is transmitted to a multimedia output device.
