MATCHING AUDIO TO A STATE-SPACE MODEL FOR PSEUDORANDOM ANIMATION

Methods, devices, media, and other embodiments are described for generating pseudorandom animations matched to audio data on a device. In one embodiment a video is generated and output on a display of the device using a computer animation model. Audio is detected from a microphone of the device, and the audio data is processed to determine a set of audio characteristics for the audio data received at the microphone of the device. A first motion state is randomly selected from the plurality of motion states, one or more motion values of the first motion state are generated using the set of audio characteristics, and the video is updated using the one or more motion values with the computer animation model to create an animated action within the video.
