    Abstract: Methods, devices, media, and other embodiments are described for managing and configuring a pseudorandom animation system and associated computer animation models. One embodiment involves generating image modification data with a computer animation model configured to modify frames of a video image to insert and animate the computer animation model within the frames of the video image, where the computer animation model of the image modification data comprises one or more control points. Motion patterns and speed harmonics are automatically associated with the control points, and motion states are generated based on the associated motions and harmonics. A probability value is then assigned to each motion state. The motion state probabilities can then be used when generating a pseudorandom animation.

    Abstract: Method of performing acoustic zooming starts with microphones capturing acoustic signals associated with video content. Beamformers generate beamformer signals using the acoustic signals. Beamformer signals correspond respectively to tiles of video content. Each of the beamformers is respectively directed to a center of each of the tiles. Target enhanced signal is generated using beamformer signals. Target enhanced signal is associated with a zoom area of video content. Target enhanced signal is generated by identifying the tiles respectively having at least portions that are included in the zoom area, selecting beamformer signals corresponding to identified tiles, and combining selected beamformer signals to generate target enhanced signal. Combining selected beamformer signals may include determining proportions for each of the identified tiles in relation to the zoom area and combining selected beamformer signals based on the proportions to generate the target enhanced signal. Other embodiments are described herein.

    Abstract: Methods, devices, media, and other embodiments are described for generating, modifying, and outputting pseudorandom animations that can be synchronized to audio data. In one embodiment, a computer animation model made up of comprising one or more control points is accessed by one or more processors, which associate motion patterns with a first control point of the one or more control points, and associate one or more speed harmonics with the first control point. A set of motion states is identify with a motion state for the combinations of possibilities, and a probability value is assigned to each motion state of the set of motion states. The probability value can be used to probabilistically determine a particular motion state to be part of displayed animation for the computer animation model.

    Abstract: Methods, devices, media, and other embodiments are described for generating pseudorandom animations matched to audio data on a device. In one embodiment a video is generated and output on a display of the device using a computer animation model. Audio is detected from a microphone of the device, and the audio data is processed to determine a set of audio characteristics for the audio data received at the microphone of the device. A first motion state is randomly selected from the plurality of motion states, one or more motion values of the first motion state are generated using the set of audio characteristics, and the video is updated using the one or more motion values with the computer animation model to create an animated action within the video.
