    Abstract: 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 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 best match 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 based on a result of the RIR comparison.

    Abstract: A method is disclosed, including providing data indicative of dimensions of a real-world space within which a virtual world is to be consumed. The method may also include identifying one or more objects within said real-world space, and determining one or more available areas within the real-world space for rendering three-dimensional virtual content, based at least partly on the dimensions of the real-world space. The method may also include identifying one or more of the objects as being movable, identifying, from a set of three-dimensional virtual content items, one or more candidate items unable to be rendered within the available area(s) and which can be rendered if one or more of the movable objects is moved and providing an indication to a virtual reality user device of the candidate virtual item(s) and of the movable object(s) required to be moved.

    Abstract: An apparatus comprising including a processor configured to determine a position for at least one sound source relative to a reference position, and a position for a sound source tracker relative to the reference position. The processor further configured to determine a direction associated with the sound source tracker, select the at least one sound source based on an analysis of the direction associated with the sound source tracker, the position for the at least one sound source and the position of the sound source tracker. The processor is further configured to receive at least one control interaction associated with the selected at least one sound source from at least one controller, process at least one audio signal associated with the selected sound source based on the control interaction and output the processed at least one audio signal to be rendered.

    Abstract: A spatial audio signal is received that is associated with a microphone array configured to provide spatial audio capture and additional audio signal(s) associated with an additional microphone, the additional audio signal having been delayed by a variable delay determined such that common components of the spatial audio signal and the additional audio signal(s) are time aligned. A relative position is received between a first position associated with the microphone array and a second position associated with the additional microphone Source parameter(s) are received classifying an audio source associated with the common components and/or space parameter(s) identifying an environment within which the audio source is located Processing effect ruleset is determined based on the source parameter(s) and/or the space parameter(s). Multiple output audio channel signals are generated by mixing and applying processing effect(s) to the spatial audio signal and the additional audio signal(s) based on the processing effect ruleset(s).
