Abstract
Provided herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing an interactive visual representation of loudspeaker sound coverage in a venue. An embodiment enables temporal, spectral, and spatial audio metering from digital audio to venue acoustics. This technology can visualize audio capabilities of one or more loudspeaker arrays using light to provide visualization grouping of large audio channel outputs. This can allow spatial information to be visually represented by mapping directional sound to light beams.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- retrieving, by a first user device, audio content from an audio source;
- mapping, by the first user device, a digital visualization of the audio content onto a virtual model to generate a virtual event, wherein the virtual model is a representation of a venue;
- comparing, by the first user device, visualizations of audio layouts to illustrate studio-to-venue translation;
- generating, by the first user device, a virtual event view, the generating comprising:
- assessing a source location and audio signal properties of the audio content;
- mapping the audio content to a unique direction, color, or shape of a volumetric light beam;
- and
- overlaying a visualization of the audio content at a location of the venue onto a static scene of the venue in any of:
- an extended reality, virtual reality, augmented reality, or mixed reality environment;
- receiving, by the first user device, a first user input for audio metering interactions with the virtual event;
- and
- updating the virtual event view based on the first user input.
A system, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and configured to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- retrieving, by a first user device, audio content from an audio source;
- mapping, by the first user device, a digital visualization of the audio content onto a virtual model to generate a virtual event, wherein the virtual model is a representation of a venue;
- comparing, by the first user device, visualizations of audio layouts to illustrate studio-to-venue translation;
- generating, by the first user device, a virtual event view, the generating comprising:
- assessing a source location and audio signal properties of the audio content;
- mapping the audio content to a unique direction, color, or shape of a volumetric light beam;
- and
- overlaying a visualization of the audio content at a location of the venue onto a static scene of the venue in any of:
- an extended reality, virtual reality, augmented reality, or mixed reality environment;
- receiving, by the first user device, a first user input for audio metering interactions with the virtual event;
- and
- updating the virtual event view based on the first user input.
A non-transitory computer-readable device storing instructions that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- retrieving, by a first user device, audio content from an audio source;
- mapping, by the first user device, a digital visualization of the audio content onto a virtual model to generate a virtual event, wherein the virtual model is a representation of a venue;
- comparing, by the first user device, visualizations of audio layouts to illustrate studio-to-venue translation;
- generating, by the first user device, a virtual event view, the generating comprising:
- assessing a source location and audio signal properties of the audio content;
- mapping audio content to a unique direction, color, or shape of a volumetric light beam;
- overlaying a visualization of the audio content at a location of the venue onto a static scene of the venue in any of:
- an extended reality, virtual reality, augmented reality, or mixed reality environment;
- receiving, by the first user device, a first user input for audio metering interactions with the virtual event;
- and
- updating the virtual event view based on the first user input.
