Training Manual for Trainers: Teaching Audience Audio-Visual Integration

Objective Equip trainers with a step-by-step guide to effectively teach incorporating audience sounds, voices, and movements into performance through computer vision and audio analysis, creating responsive performance environments that react to crowd dynamics.

Structure of the Training Session

 

1. Preparation (approx. 10 minutes)

• Objective: Set up audience audio-visual capture and analysis

•     Steps:

1. Research crowd analysis techniques (computer vision, audio source separation).
2. Prepare directional audio capture systems and spatial sound
3. Set up Al video generation tools and real-time visual processing Checklist:

• Directional microphones or microphone arrays
• Wide-angle cameras for crowd analysis
• Spatial audio processing software
• Real-time visual processing and Al video tools

 

2.    Introduction to Audience Integration (approx. 15 minutes)

• Objective: Demonstrate how audience becomes part of the performance

•     Steps:

1. Explain crowd analysis through computer vision and audio source
2. Show examples of audience-reactive performances and
3. Demonstrate different audience zones and their potential interaction roles. Trainer Tip: Use recorded crowd footage to demonstrate analysis techniques without needing a large live

 

3.   Hands-on Practice (approx. 30 minutes)

• Objective: Build a basic audience-responsive performance

•     Steps:

Set up basic crowd movement detection and audio level

2. Map audience activity to performance visual and audio
3. Experiment with different sensitivity levels and response Trainer Tip: Use small group simulations to test different audience behavior scenarios.

 

4.   Advanced Features and Creative Use Cases (approx. 15 minutes)

• Objective: Explore complex audience analysis and performance

 

•     Steps:

1. Demonstrate Al-generated video content based on audience
2. Show advanced crowd emotion and energy level
3. Explore spatial audio techniques for localized audience

 

5.   Wrap-Up and Feedback (approx. 10 minutes)

• Objective: Consolidate audience integration

•     Steps:

1. Review crowd analysis, spatial audio, and real-time visual generation
2. Share resources for audience psychology and collective behavior
3. Encourage exploration of different audience sizes and venue

 

Post-Training Follow-Up

• Provide access to recordings, cheat sheets, or tool
• Schedule optional Q&A sessions or office
  
  Trainer Tip: Encourage a collaborative group where participants can share projects and solutions.
