Methods and apparatuses for providing tangible control of sound

A sound transducer array in communication with a physical space, the sound transducer array comprising:

• a speaker array;
• a microphone array, in communication with the speaker array, for capturing sound;
• at least one processor in communication with the microphone array and configured to:
• display, on the physical space, a graphical representation of one or more sound projection patterns associated with a sound transducer array, wherein the sound transducer array is in communication with the physical space, and wherein the sound projection patterns comprise a physical wave field;
• detect at least one command directed at the graphical representation of the one or more sound projection patterns via the physical space;
• modify the one or more sound projection patterns of the sound transducer array based on the at least one command;
• and
• update the graphical representation of the one or more sound projection patterns displayed on the physical space based at least in part on the modified one or more sound projection patterns.

A sound transducer array in communication with a physical space, the sound transducer array comprising:

• means for displaying, on a physical space, a graphical representation of one or more sound projection patterns associated with a sound transducer array, wherein the sound transducer array is in communication with the physical space, and wherein the sound projection patterns comprise a physical wave field;
• means for detecting at least one command directed at the graphical representation of the one or more sound projection patterns via the physical space;
• means for modifying the one or more sound projection patterns of the sound transducer array based on the at least one command;
• and
• means for updating the graphical representation of the one or more sound projection patterns displayed on the physical space based at least in part on the modified one or more sound projection patterns.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising one or more instructions for controlling a sound field, which when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:

• display, on a physical space, a graphical representation of one or more sound projection patterns associated with a sound transducer array, wherein the sound transducer array is in communication with the physical space, and wherein the sound projection patterns comprise a physical wave field;
• detect at least one command directed at the graphical representation of the one or more sound projection patterns via the physical space;
• modify the one or more sound projection patterns of the sound transducer array based on the at least one command;
• and
• update the graphical representation of the one or more sound projection patterns displayed on the physical space based at least in part on the modified one or more sound projection patterns.
