Utilizing gesture recognition and Ethernet AVB for distributed surround sound control

摘要

Gesture recognition has become a preferred approach to the control of various systems. This allows users of the system to interact without having to use any controls or equipment. This paper investigates the use of gesture recognition in order to select and transport audio tracks over an Ethernet AVB network to speaker endpoints. The research uses equipment that is commercially available and relatively cost efficient. The endpoints receive audio samples that are encapsulated within network packets, and processes them. The audio tracks are mixed at the endpoints according to gain ratios which will change, and be different for each endpoint.
