Imagine a small black box, concealed in your shirt or jean pocket, with an auditory pickup, a microcomputer, and a hologram generator. As sound waves entered the microphone, the computer would classify them as 'clangs,' 'clunks,' 'kachings,' 'whiffs,' etc., and the holographic projector would project
a three dimensional word in the open air.
Alternatively, if this is too technically demanding, the projector can simply generate two-dimensional images onto a flat screen (like an overhead projector), the computer can be slightly larger, and can be stationed on a table.
Now, the school can finally re-enact the corny Batman cartoons of old.

Pah! Holograms? Why not just carry around some big cardboard sound effects, cut into dynamic shapes? |

I'd settle for something I could fart into, which would tell me how to spell that sound. |

[etherman] how was the device proposed here used in Batman in the 60s? |

The idea is very good, even if slightly too futuristic. I know that if I saw something on the shelf for $49.99 like that, I would buy it as soon as I could, but something nowadays like that would be a bit too much money to be popular... or even really worth anybodys time to make. |

No fishbone, no croissant. Good concept though. |
