Original Abstract Submitted

in general, this disclosure describes various aspects of the techniques directed to an adaptive audio system for occupant aware vehicles. a device configured to reproduce a soundfield based on audio data within a vehicle may implement the techniques. the device may comprise a memory configured to store the audio data, and processing circuitry coupled to the memory. the processing circuitry may be configured to obtain, from an occupant monitoring system, a state of an occupant residing within a cabin of the vehicle, modify, based on the state of the occupant residing within the cabin of the vehicle, playback of the audio data within at least a portion of the cabin of the vehicle to obtain modified playback data for the audio data, and reproduce, based on the modified playback data, the soundfield.
