    摘要: Described herein are an apparatus, a computer program product, and a method for switching between rendering modes based on location data. The method can comprise based on location data indicative of a location of a user in an environment, causing rendering of audio content, via headphones worn by the user, to be switched from a first rendering mode, in which the audio content is rendered such that at least a component of the audio appears to originate from a first location that is fixed relative to the user, to a second rendering mode, in which the audio content is rendered such that at least the component of the audio content appears to originate from a second location that is fixed relative to the environment of the user. The method can further comprise causing rendering of additional audio content for the user via the headphones.

    摘要: A method including receiving an audio scene including at least one source captured using at least one near field microphone and at least one far field microphone. The method includes determining at least one room-impulse-response (RIR) associated with the audio scene based on the at least one near field microphone and the at least one far field microphone, accessing a predetermined scene geometry corresponding to the audio scene, and identifying a best matching geometry to the predetermined scene geometry in a scene geometry database. The method also includes performing RIR comparison based on the at least one RIR and at least one geometric RIR associated with the best matching geometry, and rendering a volumetric audio scene experience based on a result of the RIR comparison.

    摘要: An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory, the memory comprising machine-readable instructions, that when executed cause the apparatus to: store in a non-volatile memory multiple sets of predetermined spatial audio processing parameters for differently moving sound sources; provide in a man machine interface an option for a user to select one of the stored multiple sets of predetermined spatial audio processing parameters for differently moving sound sources; and in response to the user selecting one of the stored multiple sets of predetermined spatial audio processing parameters for differently moving sound sources, the apparatus is further caused to use the selected one of the stored multiple sets of predetermined spatial audio processing parameters to spatially process audio from one or more sound sources.

    摘要: Embodiments of these teachings concern integrating a sound object audio file such as an audio object recorded by a lavalier microphone to a spatial audio signal. First the sound object audio file is obtained and then a direction and an active duration of the sound object audio file is determined. The spatial audio signal is compiled from audio signals of multiple microphones and could be pre-recorded and obtained after the fact. Then, using the determined direction, the sound object audio file is integrated with the spatial audio signal over the active duration. If there are further moving sound sources to integrate the same procedure is followed for them all individually. One technique specifically shown herein to find the optimized direction and starting time is steered response power (SRP) with phase transform weighting (PHAT).

    摘要: An apparatus, method and computer program is described including: determining one of a plurality of audio modes for presentation of first audio to a user based on a location and/or movement of the user within a virtual scene, wherein the first audio includes a plurality of audio tracks located at different locations within the virtual scene; and rendering the first audio to the user in the determined audio mode, wherein: in a first audio mode of the plurality of audio modes, the locations of the audio tracks within the virtual scene are fixed and in a second audio mode of the plurality of audio modes, the locations of the audio tracks within the virtual scene move with the user.
