Patent ID: 7289633

Claim:
A system for producing a holographic acoustical image of a sound event produced by a sound source, the system comprising: at least one input node, wherein the at least one input node is configured such that a given one of the at least one input nodes is configured to individually capture parameters of the sound event with respect to a location that corresponds to the given input node; an event related module configured to obtain information related to a position of the sound source during the sound event; a source related module that includes information related to holographic acoustical dynamics of the sound source; a plurality of output nodes, wherein an amount of the output nodes included in the plurality of output nodes is greater than an amount of input nodes included in the at least one input node; and a processor configured to (i) apply the holographic acoustical dynamics of the sound source to the parameters of the sound event captured by the at least one input node and the information related to the position of the sound source obtained by the event related module of the sound event to generate the holographic acoustical image of the sound event, and (ii) to drive the plurality of output nodes to produce the generated holographic acoustical image.
