Audio Rendering with Spatial Metadata Interpolation and Source Position Information - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240305947 titled 'Audio Rendering with Spatial Metadata Interpolation and Source Position Information
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an apparatus that processes audio signals to generate a spatial audio output based on the positions of the audio signal sets and the listener's position.
- Obtains multiple audio signal sets associated with positions.
- Retrieves parameter values for the audio signal sets.
- Determines listener position and source position information.
- Calculates source energies related to the source position information.
- Generates audio signals based on the positions of the audio signal sets and the listener's position.
- Modifies parameter values and residual values.
- Processes audio signals to create a spatial audio output.
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in virtual reality systems, gaming consoles, audio production, and immersive audio experiences.
Problems Solved: The technology addresses the challenge of creating realistic and immersive spatial audio experiences for users.
Benefits: - Enhanced audio quality - Realistic spatial audio effects - Improved user experience in virtual environments
