Title: Data processing
Inventor: SHARWIN WINESH RAGHOEBARDAJAL
IPC: G06F3/01
Filed: 2016-12-23
Abstract: A position detector detects a position 1050 of a trackable object at successive sampling time points, the position detector being configured to provide, by a first data communication path 1075, position data indicative of the position of the trackable object to the data processing apparatus at each sampling time point along with data indicating a time of that sampling time point according to a clock signal at the position detector. The position detector sends synchronisation data to the data processing apparatus by a second, different, data communication path indicative of the clock signal at the position detector. The difference between a clock signal at the data processing apparatus and the clock signal at the position detector is detected in dependence upon the synchronisation data. The first data communication path is preferably wireless. The invention may be used to track a head mountable display and/or a hand-holdable controller by a camera 1030.

Abstract: A system comprises a database contains audio sections and associated metadata indicating a mapping to at least one contextual theme. Each audio section has at least one entry point and at least one exit point, which relate to anacrusis events expressed in terms of beats and fractions. An input provided to the system takes the form of temporally varying events data 12 which may relate to video sequences such as movies and commercials, video game data, or physiological data such as heart-rate. The system resolves the input into a plurality of categorized contextual themes, and correlates those themes with the metadata associated with selected audio sections. The selected audio sections are then spliced or faded together to reflect events as the temporal input varies, thereby generating as an output a media product in which transitions between audio sections are seamless and the audio sections are aligned with the temporally-varying events. The system may be used to contextually synchronise music to real world events in real-time, augmenting an overall sensory experience of a user.
