Abstract:

Closed loop control of a multimedia system may be achieved with a control space that includes at least two control axes. In each control axis, a coordinate on the axis may indicate a degree to which a multimedia scene facilitates or is perceived to facilitate a user state or a degree to which the user state is achieved. For example, the two control axes may be focus and restoration. A user may provide input that specifies a target state. The target state may be different than, or the same as, the user's current state. The system may select a scene that has coordinates, in the control space, that are closest, by at least a threshold, to the target state, and present the scene to the user. Sensors in the system may measure a user state that results from presenting the scene. The system may revise the scene's coordinates accordingly.
