Abstract:
A environmental reproduction system multiplexes information from a variety of sources to reproduce a target environment having visual and/or auditory impediments. The visual impediments may include one or more environmental conditions, such as rain, sleet, snow, darkness, brightness, or any other type of environmental condition. The auditory impediments may include loud noises, such as construction noises, or sounds that are too low, such as an emergency vehicle sound not being heard. The environmental reproduction system may determine the environmental condition from one or more sources, such as an internal microphone, an external microphone, temperature sensor, a camera, a weather receiver, or other types of sensors. The environmental reproduction may be in communication with an environmental condition database and operative to apply a signal processing action to a recording (video and/or audio recording) of the target environment based on the determined environmental condition.
