Publication number: 20210400416Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2021Publication date: December 23, 2021Applicant: MSG Entertainment Group, LLCInventors: Stuart ELBY, Erik HOCKMAN

Publication number: 20210358199Abstract: Position based media pipeline systems and methods for volumetric displays provide content to a volumetric display having at least two pixels arranged in a 3D coordinate space. A three-dimensional (3D) pixel position dataset and a 3D animation are provided and a first volume representation based on the 3D animation is created. A second volume is created based on the first volume and including color data. A texture atlas is assembled based on the second volume and volumetric image data is generated based on the texture atlas. The position based media pipeline outputs the volumetric image data to one or more graphic controllers. The volumetric image data can be output whereby a user can preview the volumetric image data in addition to output to the volumetric display.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2021Publication date: November 18, 2021Applicant: MSG Entertainment Group, LLCInventors: Kurt KAMINSKI, Landon Thomas HUMPHREYS

Publication number: 20210240989Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing visual guidance on presenting content on a media surface of a venue. An embodiment operates by mapping visual content onto a media surface of the venue and a key feature unique to the visual content and/or the media surface being extracted. Thereafter, an experiment metric corresponding to the visual content and/or the media surface is retrieved, a viewer location metric and/or a media surface metric based on the experiment metric and the key feature is determined. The viewer location metric and the media surface metric correspond to the attribute, which is utilized to provide a hint of the attribute to a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2021Publication date: August 5, 2021Applicant: MSG Entertainment Group, LLCInventors: David E.

Publication number: 20210209905Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2020Publication date: July 8, 2021Applicant: MSG ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, LLCInventor: Erik HOCKMAN

Publication number: 20210203908Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for rendering a contiguous virtual space for a plurality of display devices. An embodiment operates by identifying a projection of a virtual camera onto a virtual plane and determining a display plane area based on an intersection of the projection of the virtual camera onto the virtual plane. Thereafter, a position for a plurality of virtual windows correlating to a plurality of real-world display devices on the display plane area is calculated based on (i) properties of the display devices and (ii) a focal length of the virtual camera. After placing the virtual windows their respective display plane area positions, content behind a virtual window is identified and provided to the corresponding real-world display device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2021Publication date: July 1, 2021Applicant: MSG Entertainment Group, LLCInventors: Matthew RAGAN, Kurt KAMINSKI
