LIGHT-BASED SPATIAL AUDIO METERING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240276173 titled 'LIGHT-BASED SPATIAL AUDIO METERING
The patent application describes a system, method, and computer program product for visualizing sound coverage in a venue.
- Receives audio content from an audio source and determines audio signal properties such as spectral, temporal, and spatial components.
- Receives an audio system configuration of loudspeakers or sound beams of a venue.
- Visualizes the audio signal based on a mapping of colored light beams representing the spectral, temporal, and spatial components intersecting with the venue.
- Displays the visualized audio signal as a virtual representation of sound coverage in the venue.
- Potential Applications:**
This technology could be used in concert halls, theaters, stadiums, and other venues to optimize sound distribution and coverage for the audience.
- Problems Solved:**
This technology addresses the challenge of ensuring uniform sound coverage throughout a venue, enhancing the overall audio experience for listeners.
- Benefits:**
- Improved sound quality and coverage in venues - Enhanced audio experience for audiences - Efficient optimization of sound distribution
- Commercial Applications:**
The technology could be valuable for audio equipment manufacturers, event organizers, and venue managers looking to enhance the audio experience for their audiences.
- Prior Art:**
Prior research in audio signal processing and visualization technologies may provide insights into similar approaches to visualizing sound coverage in venues.
- Frequently Updated Research:**
Researchers may be exploring advancements in audio signal processing algorithms and visualization techniques to further improve sound coverage visualization in venues.
- Questions about Sound Coverage Visualization:**
1. How does this technology compare to traditional methods of optimizing sound distribution in venues? 2. What are the potential limitations or challenges of implementing this technology in different types of venues?
Original Abstract Submitted
disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for visualizing sound coverage in a venue. an embodiment operates by receiving audio content from an audio source, determining audio signal properties of the audio content, where the audio signal properties comprise one or more spectral, temporal, spatial components (e.g., energy, spectrum or directivity), receiving an audio system configuration of loudspeakers or sound beams of a venue, visualizing the audio signal based on a mapping of an intersection of a unique volumetric beam of colored light, representing the spectral, temporal, spatial components, with a portion of the venue and displaying the visualized audio signal as a virtual representation of sound coverage of the portion of the venue.
