摘要: An integrated audio-visual system is disclosed for delivering an event to one or more spectators. The integrated audio-visual system includes one or more loudspeakers that are positioned behind one or more visual displays to be effectively behind the one or more visual displays to be shielded from the field of view of the one or more spectators. The one or more visual displays are specially designed and manufactured to allow sound associated with the event to propagate from the one or more loudspeakers with minimal acoustical distortion and/or minimum acoustical vibration while presenting a visual representation of the event to the one or more spectators. Moreover, the one or more loudspeakers and the one or more visual displays are situated to be a predetermined displacement from each other to further minimize acoustical distortion.

摘要: Systems, methods, and apparatuses can playback a composite audio program that is associated with an event being hosted by a real-world venue. These systems, methods, and apparatuses can seamlessly deconstruct the composite audio program into multiple audio sounds that can be collectively played back by the real-world venue. As part of this deconstruction, these systems, methods, and apparatuses can analyze the audio sounds to identify one or more characteristics, parameters, and/or attributes of these audio sounds. These systems, methods, and apparatuses can intelligently construct an audio presentation from these multiple audio sounds to playback the composite audio program within the real-world venue. As part of this construction, these systems, methods, and apparatuses construct the audio presentation based upon the one or more characteristics, parameters, and/or attributes of these audio sounds. After the constructing the audio presentation, these systems, methods, and apparatuses can configure the real-world venue as outlined in the audio presentation to playback the composite audio program within the real-world venue. As part of this constructing, these systems, methods, and apparatuses can identify audio control signals that configure the real-world venue to playback the audio presentation through real-world loudspeakers within the real-world venue.

摘要: An infrasound drive system and method are disclosed. An infrasound drive system includes a control circuit for transmitting a data signal and a power signal, and one or more infrasound drive that includes an input terminal, an amplifier and a tactile transducer. In one or more infrasound drives, the amplifier receives a power signal from the power channel and a data signal from the data channel. The amplifier outputs an amplified signal to the tactile transducer. The tactile transducer generates a tactile vibration based on the data signal and the power signal. An infrasound drive can be disposed in a housing and transmit a haptic force to a user in contact with the housing. A user can limit the haptic force transmitted by the infrasound drive. The power channel and the data channel can be provided by a power over Ethernet (PoE) cable.

摘要: An air amplifier utilizes a high-pressure input stream of air to accelerate a low-velocity input stream of air to provide a high-velocity, high-volume output stream of air. A coupled air amplifier array includes multiple air amplifiers which couple their respective output streams of air to one another to form a single collective output stream of air. Multiple coupled air amplifier arrays can be utilized to form coupled air amplifier array systems to provide multiple collective output streams of air which can be focused toward to an audience within a venue. The coupled air amplifier array system can be implemented within atmospheric effects systems to provide atmospheric effects, such as wind, scent, and/or temperature to provide some examples, relating to an event. These atmospheric effects systems can present these atmospheric effects to the audience to enhance the immersion of the audience as they are viewing the event. These atmospheric effects systems can include multiple portable mobile effects pods that are situated within different locations within the venue to present these atmospheric effects to different locations with the venue.

摘要: Exemplary air amplifiers described herein can utilize a high-pressure stream of gas to accelerate a low-velocity stream of gas to provide a high-velocity, high-volume stream of gas. This high-velocity, high-volume stream of gas can generate unwanted noise as the high-velocity, high-volume stream of gas propagates through the air amplifier. The exemplary air amplifiers described herein can passively and/or actively suppress, for example, diminish, re-tune, or even completely cancel, the unwanted noise as the high-velocity, high-volume stream of gas propagates through these exemplary air amplifiers. The exemplary air amplifiers described herein can include one or more absorption materials to passively suppress the unwanted noise generated by the high-velocity, high-volume stream of gas. The exemplary air amplifiers described herein can generate multiple noise suppression waves to actively suppress the unwanted noise generated by the high-velocity, high-volume stream of gas. The multiple noise suppression waves can destructively combine with the unwanted noise generated by the high-velocity, high-volume stream of gas to suppress the unwanted noise.

摘要: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for accurately mapping audio to a visual image on a display device. An embodiment operates by, based on an identified virtual representation of the remote venue, modifying audio received at a local venue to produce a first and second modified audio. Thereafter, the first and second modified audio is correlated to a first and second portion of a prestored image. Afterward, the first and second portion of the prestored image is presented on a first and second portion of the display device's curved screen, and the first and second modified audio is provided on a first and second audio device, respectively, such that the first and second modified audio is provided to the first and second regions of the local venue synchronously with the first and second portions of audio.
