Augmented reality music composition.

Abstract

Systems and methods for re-arranging a musical composition using augmented reality are disclosed. A user can be provided with one or more physical image markers representative of at least one of a musical entity and a musical style in which a musical track has been pre-recorded. Upon capturing a visual scene in which one or more of these physical image markers are included, an augmented reality version of the visual scene is displayed along with audio corresponding to the musical style(s) and/or entities represented by the one or more physical image markers.

Background

TECHNICAL FIELD(1) The present disclosure relates generally to augmented and/or virtual reality presentations.DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART(2) Many user devices include some form of camera device which may be used to capture an image or a series of images of a physical, real-world scene. The captured images can then be displayed, for instance, on a display of the user device. Certain user devices, by way of an augmented reality application or functionality, may be configured to insert virtual objects into the captured images before and/or while the images are displayed.BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE(3) In accordance with one embodiment, a computer-implemented method, comprises capturing a visual scene, and identifying a physical image marker within the visual scene. The method further comprises augmenting the visual scene with the augmented reality version of the physical image marker. Further still, the method comprises outputting an augmented reality version of the visual scene for display in conjunction with audio output based upon at least one musical characteristic of the augmented reality version of the physical image marker.(4) In accordance with another embodiment, an apparatus, comprises at least one camera capturing a visual scene, and an augmented reality component identifying a physical image marker within the visual scene, augmenting the visual scene with the augmented reality version of the physical image marker. The apparatus further comprises a display displ

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: capturing a visual scene; identifying a physical image marker within the visual scene, the physical image marker representing a first musical entity; augmenting the visual scene with the augmented reality version of the physical image marker; outputting an augmented reality version of the visual scene for display as part of a computerized game in conjunction with audio output based upon a first portion of a musical arrangement of a musical composition, the first portion of the musical arrangement comprising a first musical style and sound characteristics associated with the first musical entity, the musical arrangement being re-arrangeable within the augmented reality version of the visual scene; and advancing gameplay within the computerized game upon a determination that the musical arrangement maintains a musical theme and impression of the musical composition. 5. A computer-implemented method, comprising: capturing a visual scene; identifying a first set of physical image markers within the visual scene, the first set of physical image markers representing a first set of musical entities; augmenting the visual scene with augmented reality versions of the first set of physical image markers; outputting an augmented reality version of the visual scene for display as part of a computerized game in conjunction with audio output based upon a first musical arrangement of a musical composition, the first musical arrangement comprising a first musical style and sound characteristics associated with the first set of musical entities, the first musical arrangement being re-arrangeable within the augmented reality version of the visual scene; comparing the first musical arrangement with a second musical arrangement; and determining a preferred musical arrangement between the first musical arrangement and the second musical arrangement.
