Publication number: 20260237370Abstract: Visual effects, including augmented reality-type visual effects, are applied to audiovisual performances with differing visual effects and/or parameterizations thereof applied in correspondence with computationally determined audio features or elements of musical structure coded in temporally-synchronized tracks or computationally determined therefrom. Segmentation techniques applied to one or more audio tracks (e.g., vocal or backing tracks) are used to compute some of the components of the musical structure. In some cases, applied visual effects are based on an audio feature computationally extracted from a captured audiovisual performance or from an audio track temporally-synchronized therewith.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2026Publication date: August 13, 2026Inventors: David STEINWEDEL, Anton HOLMBERG, Javier VILLEGAS, Paul T. CHI, David YOUNG, Perry R. COOK

Patent number: 12041290Abstract: Techniques have been developed to facilitate the livestreaming of group audiovisual performances. Audiovisual performances including vocal music are captured and coordinated with performances of other users in ways that can create compelling user and listener experiences. For example, in some cases or embodiments, duets with a host performer may be supported in a sing-with-the-artist style audiovisual livestream in which aspiring vocalists request or queue particular songs for a live radio show entertainment format. The developed techniques provide a communications latency-tolerant mechanism for synchronizing vocal performances captured at geographically-separated devices (e.g., at globally-distributed, but network-connected mobile phones or tablets or at audiovisual capture devices geographically separated from a live studio).Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2023Date of Patent: July 16, 2024Assignee: SMULE, INC.Inventors: Anton Holmberg, Benjamin Hersh, Jeannie Yang, Perry R. Cook, Jeffrey C. Smith

Publication number: 20230335094Abstract: Visual effects schedules are applied to audiovisual performances with differing visual effects applied in correspondence with differing elements of musical structure. Segmentation techniques applied to one or more audio tracks (e.g., vocal or backing tracks) are used to compute some of the components of the musical structure. In some cases, applied visual effects schedules are mood-denominated and may be selected by a performer as a component of his or her visual expression or determined from an audiovisual performance using machine learning techniques.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2022Publication date: October 19, 2023Inventors: David Steinwedel, Perry R. Cook, Paul T. Chi, Wei Zhou, Jon Moldover, Anton Holmberg, Jingxi Li
