  • Select spatial filters (occluded or non-occluded) based on occlusion detection.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Virtual reality audio experiences
  • Surround sound systems

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of audio occlusions affecting spatial audio recordings.

Benefits

  • Improved audio quality in spatial recordings
  • Enhanced user experience in virtual reality environments

Potential Commercial Applications

"Enhancing Spatial Audio Recording for Virtual Reality and Surround Sound Systems"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to spatial audio recording techniques and occlusion detection in audio processing.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact the overall user experience in virtual reality environments?

This technology can significantly enhance the immersion and realism of virtual reality experiences by providing more accurate spatial audio.

Are there any limitations to the occlusion detection and spatial filter selection process described in the patent application?

Further research may be needed to determine the effectiveness of the occlusion detection algorithm in various audio recording scenarios.


Original Abstract Submitted

systems and techniques are provided for performing spatial audio recording. for instance, a process can include detecting an occlusion for at least one audio frame of one or more audio frames associated with a spatial audio recording. during the spatial audio recording, the process can further include selecting, based on detection of the occlusion, at least one of an occluded spatial filter for the one or more audio frames or a non-occluded spatial filter for the one or more audio frames.
