Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for visualizing distractions are described. In one example, audio data is received from microphones in an open space. A human speech distractor presence is identified by one or more of: (a) detecting voice activity from the audio data, (b) receiving motion sensor data from motion sensors in the open space and detecting motion activity from the motion sensor data, or (c) receiving video sensor data from video sensors in the open space and detecting a human presence from the video data. A source location of the human speech distractor presence within the open space is identified utilizing one or more of the audio data, the motion sensor data, or the video data. A distraction index parameter is generated from the audio data. The distraction index parameter is visually indicated on an open space map at the source location of the human speech distractor presence.
