TECHNIQUES FOR USING LASER-BASED CYMATICS TO PHYSICALIZE SOUND - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240296816 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR USING LASER-BASED CYMATICS TO PHYSICALIZE SOUND
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for sensory transformation using a laser, a reflecting component, and an exciter component to create tangible objects associated with user-selected audio samples.
- A reflecting component, such as a mirror, is attached to a latex membrane, and a laser beam is directed onto an opaque surface through the reflecting component.
- An exciter component generates an audio waveform linked to a user-selected audio sample, causing the latex membrane and reflecting component to oscillate.
- The oscillatory movement of the reflecting component results in the laser beam fluctuating on the opaque surface, creating unique patterns.
- Images of the laser beam's path on the surface are captured, stored, and converted into data files for generating tangible objects related to the audio sample.
Potential Applications: 1. Interactive art installations 2. Music visualization experiences 3. Educational tools for audio-visual learning
Problems Solved: 1. Enhancing audio-visual experiences 2. Creating unique and personalized art pieces 3. Engaging users in multisensory interactions
Benefits: 1. Customizable sensory experiences 2. Innovative art creation process 3. Enhanced audio-visual synchronization
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in art galleries, museums, entertainment venues, and educational institutions to create immersive and interactive experiences for visitors.
Questions about Sensory Transformation: 1. How does the exciter component influence the oscillation of the reflecting component? 2. What are the potential limitations of using this technology in large-scale installations?
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers are exploring the integration of AI algorithms to enhance the real-time responsiveness and complexity of the sensory transformation process.
Original Abstract Submitted
methods, systems, and devices for sensory transformation are described. in accordance with the techniques described herein, a reflecting component (such as a mirror) may be appended to the front of a latex membrane, and a laser may be positioned such that a beam of the laser reflects off the reflecting component and onto an opaque surface (such as a canvas or screen). an exciter component may output an audio waveform associated with a user-selected audio sample. the audio waveform may cause the latex membrane and the reflecting component to oscillate. the oscillatory movement of the reflecting component may cause the reflected beam to fluctuate on the opaque surface. images of the path (i.e., motion) of the reflected beam on the opaque surface may be captured, stored, and converted into data files. the data files may be used to generate tangible objects associated with the user-selected audio sample.
