Title:

Multi Directional Single Phone Camera Recording Live Music Using AI

Agreement Number:

1030935

Agreement Value:

$100,000.00

Agreement Date:

May 1, 2025 - Jan 15, 2026

Description:

The project plan is to develop an AI-based camera system specifically designed for live music recording and streaming. Our technology will utilize a fixed smartphone as a camera, dynamically adjusting the recorded image based on which band member is playing. This will create a perception of camera movements such as zoom, pan, or tilt, enhancing the viewer's experience without the need for a videographer or video editor. 2. Project Goal The primary goal of this project is to complete our partially developed sophisticated AI model that can identify and dynamically switch the focus between different band members based on their activity by creating "labels" for sections of the image and using our AI model to decide which label to cut to.
