Abstract
Systems and method for creating content in a virtual environment based on sound include components and operations that analyze audio data to identify specific sound qualities or characteristics, such as a specific frequency, period, wavelength, note, key, amplitude or the like that are present in the sound. For an identified sound quality or characteristic, the systems and methods may determine a corresponding or associated virtual content, (or an aspect of the virtual content), and generate that virtual content or that aspect of the virtual content in the virtual environment. The virtual content may be persistent among users and instantiations of the virtual environment. Examples of the virtual content that may be generated include an object, an action, a change to existing content and a real-time change command. Examples of the virtual environments that may include the generated content include a video game, a desktop, and an animated movie.
