Interactive audiovisual synchronization for venues

By using a system that compensates for the delayed reception of cues through flight time estimation and adjustment, the interactive audiovisual experience ensures accurate and synchronized responses from participants regardless of their distance from the interactive content.

AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In interactive audiovisual experiences, participants seated further away from the interactive content often receive visual and audible cues at different times, leading to diminished accuracy and synchronization of their responses due to delayed action.

Method used

The implementation of a system that includes a content server, an audio/visual system, and portable electronic devices, which compensates for the different instances in time that cues reach participants by estimating and adjusting for flight times, thereby decoupling response accuracy from distance from the interactive content.

Benefits of technology

This solution ensures that the accuracy and synchronization of participant responses are no longer dependent on their distance from the interactive content, as the system effectively synchronizes responses based on the timing of actions themselves.

Abstract

Exemplary venues allow for members of an audience at different locations within these venues to simultaneously interact with an interactive content. The interactive content can convey one or more requisite actions to be performed by the members of the audience. However, the one or more requisite actions can reach members of the audience at different instances in time. These exemplary venues can effectively compensate for these different instances in time such that the accuracy and / or the synchronization of one or more response actions, which are performed by the members of the audience in response to the one or more requisite actions, can be characterized as no longer being dependent upon their distance from the interactive content. Rather, the accuracy and / or the synchronization of the one or more response actions by the members of the audience to the one or more requisite actions can be considered as being related to the performance, for example, timing, of the one or more response actions themselves.
