SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MODIFYING SPATIAL AUDIO - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240298131 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MODIFYING SPATIAL AUDIO
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes systems and methods for modifying spatial audio in a virtual scene by encoding, mixing, and decoding audio data to create a mixed soundfield.
- Obtaining metadata for sets of audio data associated with a virtual scene
- Encoding audio data to output separate soundfields
- Mixing soundfields to create a mixed soundfield
- Decoding the mixed soundfield based on metadata to provide mixed audio data
- Outputting the mixed audio data as an audio output
Key Features and Innovation: - Spatial audio modification in a virtual scene - Encoding and mixing audio data to create a mixed soundfield - Decoding mixed soundfield based on metadata for audio output
Potential Applications: - Virtual reality experiences - Gaming audio enhancements - Immersive audio for movies and entertainment
Problems Solved: - Enhancing spatial audio in virtual environments - Providing a more immersive audio experience - Improving audio quality and realism in virtual scenes
Benefits: - Enhanced audio realism in virtual reality - Improved gaming experiences - Immersive soundscapes for entertainment
Commercial Applications: Title: Spatial Audio Modification Technology for Virtual Environments Potential commercial uses include: - Virtual reality gaming - Audio production for virtual reality experiences - Entertainment industry for immersive audio
Prior Art: Research on spatial audio processing in virtual environments and audio mixing technologies can provide insights into prior art related to this technology.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in spatial audio processing, virtual reality audio technologies, and audio encoding methods for virtual environments.
Questions about Spatial Audio Modification Technology: 1. How does spatial audio modification enhance virtual reality experiences? 2. What are the key differences between traditional audio processing and spatial audio modification in virtual environments?
Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods for modifying spatial audio are described. one of the methods includes obtaining a first set of metadata for a first set of audio data and a second set of metadata for a second set of audio data. the first and second sets of metadata and the first and second sets of audio data are associated with a display of a virtual scene. the method further includes encoding the first set of audio data to output a first soundfield and the second set of audio data to output a second soundfield. the method also includes mixing the first and second soundfields to output a mixed soundfield, decoding the mixed soundfield based on at least one of the first set of metadata and the second set of metadata to provide mixed audio data, and outputting the mixed audio data as an audio output.
