SIGNALING FOR RENDERING TOOLS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240274141 titled 'SIGNALING FOR RENDERING TOOLS
The abstract describes an example audio decoding device that can decode a soundfield representation and select between a head-related transfer function (HRTF) or a binaural room impulse response (BRIR) to render speaker feeds.
- Memory stores coded audio bitstream
- Processors decode soundfield representation from bitstream
- Processors decode syntax element for HRTF or BRIR selection
- Render speaker feeds using selected HRTF or BRIR
Potential Applications: - Virtual reality audio systems - Gaming audio technology - Immersive audio experiences
Problems Solved: - Enhancing spatial audio rendering - Improving realism in audio playback
Benefits: - Enhanced audio immersion - Customizable audio experiences - Realistic sound reproduction
Commercial Applications: - Virtual reality headsets - Gaming consoles - Audio software development
Questions about audio decoding technology: 1. How does this technology improve spatial audio rendering?
- This technology enhances spatial audio by selecting the appropriate HRTF or BRIR for rendering speaker feeds.
2. What are the potential applications of this audio decoding device?
- This device can be used in virtual reality systems, gaming technology, and other immersive audio experiences.
Original Abstract Submitted
an example audio decoding device includes a memory configured to store at least a portion of a coded audio bitstream; and one or more processors configured to: decode, based on the coded audio bitstream, a representation of a soundfield; decode, based on the coded audio bitstream, a syntax element indicating a selection of either a head-related transfer function (hrtf) or a binaural room impulse response (brir); and render, using the selected hrtf or brir, speaker feeds from the soundfield.
