Provided herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing an interactive visual representation of loudspeaker sound coverage in a venue. An embodiment enables temporal, spectral, and spatial audio metering from digital audio to venue acoustics. This technology can visualize audio capabilities of one or more loudspeaker arrays using light to provide visualization grouping of large audio channel outputs. This can allow spatial information to be visually represented by mapping directional sound to light beams.

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for visualizing sound coverage in a venue. An embodiment operates by receiving audio content from an audio source, determining audio signal properties of the audio content, where the audio signal properties comprise one or more spectral, temporal, spatial components (e.g., energy, spectrum or directivity), receiving an audio system configuration of loudspeakers or sound beams of a venue, visualizing the audio signal based on a mapping of an intersection of a unique volumetric beam of colored light, representing the spectral, temporal, spatial components, with a portion of the venue and displaying the visualized audio signal as a virtual representation of sound coverage of the portion of the venue.

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.

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for replicating a remote venue in a local venue. An embodiment operates by receiving original audio. Thereafter, the original stream of audio is modified to produce modified audio based on an audio profile unique to a remote venue smaller than the local venue. The audio profile comprises a virtual representation of the remote venue including (i) a virtual audio source corresponding to the local venue's audio source and configured to produce the original audio and (ii) a virtual reverberation point corresponding to a real-world location in the remote venue and the portion of the local venue. As such, the modified audio is determined based on receipt of the original audio from the reverberation point. Thus, after correlating the modified audio to the local venue's audio source, the modified audio is provided by the audio source to the portion of the local venue.

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for mobile device tracking system within a VR simulation. The method includes determining a position and orientation of a mobile device tracking module (e.g., case) attached to a mobile device, calculating a position and orientation of the of the mobile device based at least partially on a position and orientation of a tracking module, simulating a real world environment, generating a virtual visualization of the mobile device and rendering a VR simulation based at least partially on the position and orientation of the display screen of the mobile device. The position and orientation of the display screen provides a virtual position and orientation of the display screen relative to a virtual origin within the VR simulation.

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for intelligently distributing virtual objects within a 3D virtual space using a voxel-based heat map. The approach is highly flexible and scalable, and a designer may guide the placement of virtual objects using parameters that reference the voxel-based heat map. This technique affords designers expansive creative control over a wide-array of scenarios that involve placing a virtual object into a virtual 3D space.
