SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING INTERACTIVE AUDIO - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240264795 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING INTERACTIVE AUDIO

The attraction system described in the patent application includes a display that presents augmented reality and/or virtual reality imagery to a guest in an interactive space. The system also features an audio controller that operates an array of speakers distributed throughout the interactive space, as well as a controller with one or more processors.

• The one or more processors receive data indicating the state of the guest (e.g., actions, movements, gestures, or inputs from devices).
• The processors adjust the AR/VR imagery based on the guest's state.
• The processors instruct the audio controller to provide interactive audio from the speakers based on the guest's state, making it seem like the audio is coming from a dynamic part of the AR/VR imagery.

Potential Applications: - Entertainment venues - Theme parks - Museums - Interactive exhibits

Problems Solved: - Enhancing guest experience in interactive spaces - Creating a more immersive and engaging environment

Benefits: - Increased guest engagement - Enhanced entertainment value - Innovative and cutting-edge technology

Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in various commercial settings such as theme parks, museums, and entertainment venues to provide guests with a unique and interactive experience.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system adjust the AR/VR imagery based on the guest's state? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in different interactive spaces?

Original Abstract Submitted

an attraction system includes a display that operates to present augmented reality and/or virtual reality (ar/vr) imagery to a guest in an interactive space. the system includes an audio controller that operates an array of speakers that are distributed throughout the interactive space and a controller having one or more processors. the one or more processors are operable to receive data indicative of a state of the guest (e.g., an action, movement, or gesture of the guest, an input received from an input device). the one or more processors are also operable to adjust the ar/vr imagery in response to the state of the guest, and instruct the audio controller to operate the array of the speakers to provide interactive audio based on the state of the guest and such that the interactive audio presents to the guest as though originating from a dynamic portion of the ar/vr imagery.
