Now your photographs can not only be observed, but also listen. Royal Caribbean presented the first mobile application that will transform travelers' most memorable photos into music. It is through artificial intelligence that the SoundSeeker app creates a predetermined track based on the mood projected in your photographs.
Available for free, this app works by uploading three photographs of your choice to your platform, which analyzes them according to their colors, background, emotions, body language and face. Afterwards, SoundSeeker processes the information obtained and turns it into a unique piece of musical art that can be shared through your social networks, acting as a virtual DJ to musicalize the most presumable moments of life.
The arrival of this application is a sample of the new ways available to share our most emotional moments using tools that use the highest technology. And in this case, it is thanks to the innovation of companies like Royal Caribbean supported by the Music Theory and by the Berklee College of Music that this app is available online.
Berklee took advantage of the theory of music to create a roadmap for the tool that helps determine the musical pairing of the photos, taking into account the combinations of tone, tempo and instrumental, among others.
SoundSeeker uses machine learning, an artificial intelligence technique that allows computers to simulate human intelligence and make decisions for themselves without explicit instructions. During the development of SoundSeeker, Royal Caribbean, along with a team of musicians and technologists, made connections between hundreds of music tracks and more than 10,000 photos to teach SoundSeeker how to make these connections.
The AI in SoundSeeker uses Google Cloud Vision to identify objects, facial expressions and colors in a user's photo, making reference to the route map developed by the leaders in music theory at Berklee. SoundSeeker finds the musical elements corresponding to each mood in the photo to compose a genuinely different audiovisual photo album.
SoundSeeker is equipped to generate over one million unique tracks, based on custom base tracks, composed exclusively for Royal Caribbean's SoundSeeker. Custom tracks are inspired by a wide variety of music, including hip-hop from the 90s, rock, and electronic and modern dance music.
