Visualization and Customization of Sound Space - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240340603 titled 'Visualization and Customization of Sound Space
The abstract describes an audio system that visualizes and customizes a sound space based on detected sound signals and their directions. The system associates each sound signal with a visualization on a graphical user interface (GUI) that corresponds to the direction of the sound relative to the user. Users can interact with the GUI to modify parameters of specific sound signals, which the system then adjusts and plays back accordingly.
- Audio system for visualizing and customizing sound space
- Detects sound signals and determines their directions
- Associates sound signals with visualizations on a GUI
- GUI displays sound space based on visualizations and directions
- Users can modify parameters of sound signals through the GUI
- System adjusts and plays back modified sound signals based on user interactions
Potential Applications: - Home entertainment systems - Virtual reality and augmented reality applications - Audio production and mixing tools - Gaming and immersive experiences - Assistive listening devices for individuals with hearing impairments
Problems Solved: - Enhances user experience by providing a visual representation of sound space - Allows for customization and control of individual sound signals - Improves spatial awareness and immersion in audio content
Benefits: - Personalized audio experience - Intuitive interface for modifying sound parameters - Enhanced spatial audio perception - Increased user engagement and enjoyment
Commercial Applications: "Interactive Audio Visualization System for Enhanced User Experience in Entertainment and Communication"
Frequently Updated Research: Research on spatial audio processing techniques and user interface design for audio visualization systems.
Questions about Audio Visualization System: 1. How does the audio system determine the directions of sound signals? The audio system uses signal processing algorithms to analyze the audio signals and calculate their directions based on time delays and intensity differences. 2. What are some potential future advancements in audio visualization technology? Future advancements may include real-time 3D audio rendering, personalized sound profiles, and integration with smart home devices for seamless audio control.
Original Abstract Submitted
an audio system for visualizing and customizing a sound space. the audio system detects sound signals and determines directions of the sound signals. the audio system associates each of the sound signals with a visualization, and provides a graphical user interface (gui) to display a sound space based on the visualizations and the directions of the sound signals. the visualizations are placed at positions on the gui corresponding to the directions of the respective sound signals relative to a user. the gui also includes an interactive element configured to receive a user interaction for modifying a parameter of a particular sound signal. responsive to receiving the user interaction, the audio system modifies the parameter of the particular sound signal, and plays the sound signals with the particular sound signal modified based on the user interaction.
