What is a viseme and how does it relate to presentation design?

A viseme is the visual counterpart of a phoneme, which is the smallest unit of sound in speech. In terms of facial animation, a viseme is the facial expression that corresponds to a particular speech sound. For example, the ‘m’ sound might be represented by closed lips, whereas the ‘ah’ sound might be represented by an open mouth. Visemes are crucial in creating realistic, lip-synced animations, including those used in video games, films, and other multimedia presentations.

Visemes play a significant role in presentation design, particularly in animated video presentations or when incorporating animated characters into your slides. These animations can make your presentation more engaging, memorable, and effective. By matching the visemes to the soundtrack of your presentation, you are able to create a more immersive and realistic experience for your audience. This can greatly enhance the impact of your presentation, making it more likely that your audience will remember and understand your content.
