ADAPTABLE AUDIO/VISUAL IMMERSION
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates generally to the field of immersion, specifically to audio/visual 5 immersion and more specifically to systems and methods configured to create and change audio/visual immersion according to specific desires of one or more persons situated in a variety of given surroundings.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The term “immersion” is for instance within the field of virtual reality used to characterize a person’s experience of being present in a scene, i.e. experiencing the total perception that the person would experience, if he was actually present in the corresponding real physical scene. The total perception may at least conceptually be regarded as the combination of at least an auditory perception, a visual perception and other perceptual contributions, such as tactile and thermal perceptual contributions.
It would be desirable to have access to systems and methods by means of which the immersion as perceived by one or more persons situated in given surroundings could be at least to some extend be created and modified and thereby adapted to for instance changing requirements in different situations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The above and further objects and advantages are obtained by the device and method according to the present invention.
A system according to the invention that provides adaptable audio/visual immersion comprises (at least) the following technical features:
(1) A first category of sound radiating devices or means that affect a person’s auditory perception of the surroundings in which he is situated.
DK 2016 00452 A1 (2) A second category of devices or means configured to reproduce video or pictures that affect a person’s visual perception of the surroundings in which he is situated.
(3) A third category of devices or means that affect other perceptually pertinent characteristics of the surroundings.
Combined use of these two classes of devices or means give rise to a person’s total audio/visual perception of the surroundings. This total perception is in the following referred to as a person’s “immersion”. The “degree of immersion” is regarded as being determined and determinable (i.e. controllable or adaptable) by proper control of the above mentioned devices for instance by means of:
(3) A user interface.
Non-limiting examples of the first category of devices or means are loudspeakers in various configurations, such as stereophonic or surround sound configurations.
Non-limiting examples of the second category of devices or means are video monitors or TV sets of various dimensions or video projectors with an associated screen.
Non-limiting examples of the third category of devices or means are lamps or other lighting means in various configurations, the intensity, radiation pattern and the color of the radiated light can be controlled. The third category also comprises shades, blinds, shutters or Venetian blinds that can be remote controlled. The third category further comprises means or systems that can control or modify the acoustic characteristics of a room such as absorbing panels in walls and/or ceiling that are configured to be remotely controllable.
It is understood that the above examples are non-limiting and that a person skilled in the art may conceive of other devices and means that are relevant within the context of the present invention. The use of all such devices and means within the context of the invention are regarded to fall within the scope of the present invention.
