Re: [Yasmin_discussions] cognitive innovation in plymouth

Some work from my PhD thesis uses augmented reality goggles to perform
what I've called audiovisual scene synthesis, a generative collage
process built using a model of human perception. Participants wear
headphones and goggles which attempt to learn both the auditory and
visual scene, presenting its "interpretation" as a generative collage
through the microphone and goggles:

visual synthesis: an approach for artistic stylization. In Proceedings

For more details of the models, other example outputs, and feedback
from its installation at the V&A, please see my PhD thesis on
"Computational Audiovisual Scene Synthesis":
