AI-Driven Virtual Environments for Synthetic Souls Performances
Overview
This document outlines the development of a system that generates AI-driven virtual environments for Synthetic Souls' performances. These environments will be dynamic, responsive to music and audience interaction, and will enhance the immersive experience of our shows.
Objectives
Create a system that generates unique, thematic virtual environments for each performance or song
Develop AI algorithms that can respond in real-time to music, lyrics, and audience interaction
Integrate with our existing AR and visual effects systems for a cohesive visual experience
Ensure scalability for various performance venues and setups
Push the boundaries of visual storytelling in live music performances
