Abstract:
1. A method of generating a control sequence for a visual presentation system, the method comprising: arranging one or more visual notes representing a visually perceived stimuli associated with at least one visual element of a visual presentation system, the one or more visual notes positioned on at least one visual staff included in a graphical interface on a display coupled with a computer processor, the graphical interface generated using the computer processor; associating one or more visual element parameters with each of the one or more visual notes, the visual element parameters comprising at least one of color, intensity, chromaticity, gamma value, alpha channel, rapidity, duration, hue, saturation, red green blue coloring, cyan magenta yellow key coloring, vector positioning, vector displacement, and brightness; generating a control sequence from the one or more visual notes on the at least one visual staff and a timing sequence indicated at least in part by relative positioning of the one or more visual notes on the at least one visual staff, the control sequence adapted to control operation of the visual presentation system; including the control sequence in an output data stream coupled with the visual presentation system; displaying a representation of the visual presentation system on the graphical interface adjacent to the at least one visual staff; and animating the representation with one or more frames generated by the computer processor by following a timing indicated by each of the one or more visual notes and by changing one of the color, intensity, chromaticity, gamma value, alpha channel, rapidity, duration, hue, saturation, red green blue coloring, cyan magenta yellow key coloring, vector positioning, vector displacement, and brightness of a representation of a visual element in the visual display of the visual presentation system in each frame in response to encountering a position of each of the one or more visual notes on the at least one visual staff.
