Abstract
An audio/visual system (e.g., such as an entertainment console or other computing device) plays a base audio track, such as a portion of a pre-recorded song or notes from one or more instruments. Using a depth camera or other sensor, the system automatically detects that a user (or a portion of the user) enters a first collision volume of a plurality of collision volumes. Each collision volume of the plurality of collision volumes is associated with a different audio stem. In one example, an audio stem is a sound from a subset of instruments playing a song, a portion of a vocal track for a song, or notes from one or more instruments. In response to automatically detecting that the user (or a portion of the user) entered the first collision volume, the appropriate audio stem associated with the first collision volume is added to the base audio track or removed from the base audio track.

14. An apparatus that creates audio content, comprising:
-
a depth camera; a display interface; an audio interface; and a processor in communication with the depth camera, display interface and audio interface, the processor plays a first base audio track, the processor is programmed to automatically detect first predefined movement of a user from a plurality of predefined movements based on data from the depth camera, each predefined movement is associated with a different audio stem, the processor adds a first audio stem to the base track in response to detecting that the user performed the first predefined movement, the first audio stem corresponds to the first predefined movement. - View Dependent Claims (15)

18. One or more processor readable storage devices storing processor readable code thereon, the processor readable code for programming one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
-
defining one or more base tracks for a plurality of movement zones; identifying audio stems for a set of collision volumes for each zone; and creating code based on the defined one or more base tracks for the plurality of movement zones and the indentified audio stems for the set of collision volumes for each zone, the code capable of configuring a computing device to play the one or base tracks depending on which zone a user is positioned, the code capable of configuring the computing device to add or subtract audio stems based on the user intersecting corresponding collision volumes. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
