SPATIAL AUDIO SIGNAL MANIPULATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240305945 titled 'SPATIAL AUDIO SIGNAL MANIPULATION
The method described in this patent application involves rendering an audio signal for playback in an audio environment defined by a target loudspeaker system. The audio signal includes audio data related to an audio object and position data indicating the object's position.
- Receiving the audio signal
- Receiving loudspeaker layout data for the target loudspeaker system
- Receiving control data indicating a position modification for the audio object
- Generating rendering modification data in response to the position data, loudspeaker layout data, and control data
- Rendering the audio signal with the rendering modification data to output the audio signal with the audio object at a modified position within the audio environment.
Potential Applications: - Immersive audio experiences in virtual reality and gaming - Enhanced sound localization in home entertainment systems - Spatial audio for live events and concerts
Problems Solved: - Precise positioning of audio objects within a defined audio environment - Seamless integration of audio data with loudspeaker layout for optimal playback
Benefits: - Enhanced audio realism and immersion - Improved spatial awareness and sound localization - Customizable audio experiences tailored to specific environments
Commercial Applications: Title: Spatial Audio Rendering Technology for Enhanced Immersive Experiences Description: This technology can be utilized in virtual reality, gaming, home entertainment systems, and live events to provide users with a more immersive and realistic audio experience. It has the potential to revolutionize the way audio is rendered and perceived in various commercial applications.
