Generating revoiced media streams in a virtual reality

A method for artificially generating a revoiced media stream in a virtual reality system, the method comprising:

• receiving a media stream from an individual speaking in an origin language, wherein the individual is associated with a particular voice;
• obtaining a transcript of the media stream in the origin language;
• translating the transcript of the media stream to a target language, wherein the translated transcript includes at least one word in the target language for each word spoken in the origin language;
• analyzing the media stream to determine a voice profile for the individual, wherein the voice profile corresponds with the particular voice of the individual;
• determining at least one characteristic of a personalized avatar that represents the individual;
• determining a synthesized voice for the personalized avatar based on the voice profile, wherein the synthesized voice sounds substantially identical to the particular voice;
• and
• enabling the virtual reality system to generate a revoiced media stream that includes a visualization of the personalized avatar speaking the translated transcript in the target language using the synthesized voice.

A virtual reality system for artificially generating a revoiced media stream, the system comprising at least one processing device configured to:

• receive a media stream from an individual speaking in an origin language, wherein the individual is associated with a particular voice;
• obtain a transcript of the media stream in the origin language;
• translate the transcript of the media stream to a target language, wherein the translated transcript includes at least one word in the target language for each word spoken in the origin language;
• analyze the media stream to determine a voice profile for the individual, wherein the voice profile corresponds with the particular voice of the individual;
• determine at least one characteristic of a personalized avatar that represents the individual;
• determine a synthesized voice for the personalized avatar based on the voice profile, wherein the synthesized voice sounds substantially identical to the particular voice;
• and
• generate a revoiced media stream that includes a visualization of the personalized avatar speaking the translated transcript in the target language using the synthesized voice.
