INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240281203 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
The patent application describes an information processing device that generates control information to emphasize audio in a virtual space, including environmental sounds and the voice of a second user associated with a second avatar, based on the interests of a first user associated with a first avatar in the same virtual space.
- Emphasis information generation unit generates control information for emphasis control on audio in a virtual space.
- Control information is used to emphasize environmental sounds and the voice of a second user in the virtual space.
- The emphasis is based on the interest information of a first user associated with a first avatar in the virtual space.
Potential Applications: - Virtual reality gaming environments - Online communication platforms - Virtual meetings and conferences
Problems Solved: - Enhancing user experience in virtual environments - Improving communication clarity in virtual spaces
Benefits: - Personalized audio emphasis based on user interests - Enhanced immersion and engagement in virtual interactions
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Audio Emphasis Technology for Virtual Environments" This technology can be used in virtual reality gaming, online communication platforms, and virtual meetings, enhancing user experience and communication clarity.
Questions about Audio Emphasis Technology: 1. How does the emphasis information generation unit determine what audio to emphasize in the virtual space? The emphasis information generation unit uses interest information of the first user associated with the first avatar to determine which audio to emphasize in the virtual space.
2. Can this technology be applied to other virtual reality applications beyond gaming and communication platforms? Yes, this technology can be adapted for various virtual reality applications where audio emphasis is beneficial, such as virtual training simulations or virtual tours.
Original Abstract Submitted
an information processing device includes an emphasis information generation unit that generates control information for performing emphasis control on audio including an environmental sound in a virtual space and an utterance voice of a second user associated with a second avatar arranged in the virtual space on the basis of interest information of a first user associated with a first avatar arranged in the virtual space.
